Brazil debt renegotiation programs and Fies updates

Overview

The Brazilian federal government has extended the deadline for the Desenrola Brasil 2.0 debt-renegotiation scheme to 31 August 2026. This extension comes as a record 83.7 million Brazilians were listed with negative credit in June 2026. The program, overseen by Finance Minister Dario Durigan, offers discounts of up to 90% and interest rates as low as 1.99% per month for specific overdue debts. Recent data shows approximately 110,000 operations have utilized up to 20% of workers’ FGTS balances, totaling roughly R$ 62 million, while the program has recorded over 89,000 debt-settlement contracts. To support those maintaining financial obligations, the government launched ‘Desenrola Adimplentes’. This initiative includes credit lines for informal workers to replace high-interest debt with rates capped at 1.99% per month, entrepreneurship credit for Fies students (up to R$ 80,000 for individuals), and the use of FGTS balances as collateral for payroll loans. A specific ‘Desenrola Fies’ component targets students with contracts signed until 2017 that were in the amortization phase as of May 4, 2026. Established under Provisional Measure No. 1.355/2026, this program allows both compliant and delinquent debtors to renegotiate through Banco do Brasil or Caixa Econômica Federal. While the initial deadline for ‘Desenrola Fies’ was 31 August, recent updates indicate renegotiation opportunities for these specific contracts are available until 16 September via the digital channels of the participating banks. In a related legislative development, the Brazilian Education and Culture Commission approved a bill authored by Senator Alessandro Vieira. If passed, the measure would allow the public bank operating the Student Financing Fund (Fies) to consult the tax and asset data of students with overdue debts to better assess repayment capacity and improve debt recovery. Separately, the Ministry of Education is managing a waiting list process for Fies 2026-2.
