Brazil: Legislative bodies debate 2027 budgets and leadership
Legislative bodies across several Brazilian states and the federal government are advancing budget planning for 2027. In the Senate, Senator Eduardo Braga has been selected as the general rapporteur for the 2027 Federal Budget, which projects approximately R$ 7.4 trillion in expenses and a primary surplus of R$ 18.6 billion.
State-level discussions are also underway. Mato Grosso has proposed a 2027 budget of R$ 46.1 billion, representing a 13.07% increase from 2026, with a focus on fiscal prudence amid tax reforms. The Rio de Janeiro State Assembly (Alerj) is debating a budget that anticipates a deficit of R$ 13.98 billion, driven by falling oil royalties and rising personnel costs. Meanwhile, the Paraná Legislative Assembly (Alep) announced the allocation of over R$ 6 million from its own budget to assist municipalities like Maringá and Marquinho following severe storms.
In Rio de Janeiro, political maneuvering is also occurring regarding the leadership of Alerj, with André Ceciliano emerging as a strong candidate for the presidency of the House for the 2027 term.
