Tarcísio de Freitas cites Casas Bahia closures as sign of economic decline
São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas has criticized the current state of the Brazilian economy, citing the closure of approximately 300 Casas Bahia stores as a primary indicator of economic deterioration. During a political event, de Freitas noted that these closures directly impact long-term employees and serve as a symptom of broader national instability.
Simultaneously, the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Fiesp) has issued warnings regarding a projected economic slowdown. Fiesp reports indicate that the Brazilian economy is entering a phase of reduced dynamism, with industrial production showing signs of contraction. The entity projects a modest GDP growth of 1.9% for 2026, with a further deceleration to 1.1% expected in 2027.
