Why it matters

Debt size and composition define bond supply by indexer, rollover cost and debt-service sensitivity to the Selic — direct drivers of the yield curve and the fiscal premium.

Gilmar Mendes proposes taking the multibillion dispute between sugar mills and the federal government over the defunct IAA to the Supreme Court full bench after the Vorcaro case

Justice Gilmar Mendes filed on September 22 a motion for the Supreme Court Second Panel to send to the full bench the dispute over compensation to the sugar and ethanol sector for price controls by the defunct Sugar and Alcohol Institute; the motion will be examined in a virtual session from September 25 to October 2. The goal is to standardize the requirement of individual expert proof of loss, set in a 2020 general repercussion ruling, across cases such as those of the Alcídia, Raízen and Jalles Machado mills. The impact is estimated at R$ 103.4 billion in the 2026 Budget Guidelines Law, according to Money Times, and up to R$ 145 billion, according to Gazeta do Povo. The move follows messages from Daniel Vorcaro, whose Banco Master bought Alcídia court-ordered payments, criticizing the justice stance against the payments.

Government raises Bolsa Família by 15.04% to R$ 691 at a cost of R$ 22 billion in 2027, and the market reacts with a falling stock index and a stronger dollar

A decree signed on September 17 raises the minimum Bolsa Família benefit from R$ 600 to R$ 691 from October, restoring INPC inflation since March 2023. The cost is R$ 5.8 billion in 2026 and about R$ 22 billion in 2027, without raising the spending cap, according to the government.
