Caixa Econômica Federal financial activities

Overview

In August 2026, Caixa Econômica Federal initiated the distribution of 13.04 billion reais in FGTS profits to approximately 138 million Brazilian workers. This payout, representing 89% of the 2025 FGTS profit, was intended to raise annual account yields to approximately 6.9%.

Regarding its financial performance, the bank reported a recurring net profit of R$ 3.9 billion for the second quarter of 2026, marking a 5.9% increase from the previous year and a 12.4% increase from the first quarter of 2026. This growth was largely driven by the real estate credit segment, which surpassed R$ 1 trillion for the first time, reaching a balance of R$ 1.005 trillion. This segment grew 15% annually and accounted for approximately 69.4% of the total portfolio.

However, despite the quarterly gains, the bank’s recurring profit for the first half of the year fell 17.6% year-on-year to R$ 7.4 billion. The bank also noted rising delinquency rates. The index for operations overdue by more than 90 days rose to 3.64%, up from 2.66% a year earlier. Notably, the agricultural sector experienced a significant spike in delinquency, reaching 20.74% compared to 7.02% in the second quarter of 2025, though executives stated this growth curve appears to be stabilizing. To manage these risks, the bank increased its provisions for doubtful accounts to R$ 7 billion, a nearly 97.6% increase compared to the previous year. The bank's Basel ratio stood at 15.5% for the quarter.
