BNDES credit approvals and infrastructure investment plans
Overview
The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) has reported significant credit activity and is planning large-scale investment initiatives. In early August 2026, the bank approved R$ 7.1 billion for the 2026/27 Plano Safra within eight days, with R$ 4.2 billion of that amount allocated to family farmers, small and medium-sized rural producers, and cooperatives. Additionally, BNDES reported a record R$ 108.2 billion in credit approved for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises during the first half of 2026.
Expanding its scope toward national infrastructure, BNDES is preparing a R$ 300 billion project to attract private investment. The initiative seeks to engage private infrastructure fund managers to invest equity in sectors such as transport, sanitation, public lighting, and health. Under this model, BNDES aims to provide up to one-quarter of a fund’s equity, requiring managers to raise R$ 3 from other investors for every R$ 1 contributed by the bank.
