In January 2025, Brazil achieved a notable nominal budget surplus of BRL 63.7 billion, marking a significant increase from BRL 22.2 billion in January of the previous year. This surplus not only exceeded analysts’ expectations of BRL 35.3 billion but also represented the first government budget surplus in a year.
The growth in the budget surplus can be attributed to the central government surplus, which surged to BRL 49.6 billion, a substantial rise from BRL 9.65 billion recorded a year earlier.
