Brazil expands credit and advances in sustainable business.

Brazil expands access to credit for sectors affected by US tariffs.

The National Monetary Council (CMN) approved this Thursday (13) the expansion of access to emergency credit lines for Brazilian companies impacted by the United States' tariff increase. With a total of R$ 30 billion available, the Sovereign Brazil Plan aims to preserve liquidity, support production and protect jobs in the sectors most affected by the tariff shock.

The new rules broaden eligibility criteria and include suppliers of exporting companies among the beneficiaries, reinforcing support for the productive sector. The measure was regulated following a joint decree from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC), and aims to mitigate the effects of US tariffs while the Brazilian government negotiates diplomatically with the US.

The Minister of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services (MDIC), Geraldo Alckmin, highlighted that the government is simultaneously involved in international negotiations and providing direct support to the productive sector, expanding the revenue criteria and sectoral scope to include more companies.

The financial market reacts to the international scenario and domestic indicators.

In the Brazilian stock market, the Ibovespa closed the trading session with a slight drop of 0.07%, interrupting a sequence of more than 10 consecutive days of gains. Shares of Taísa and CSN stood out with gains above 5%. The dollar traded slightly lower, quoted at R$ 5.29, influenced by the end of the shutdown in the US and the meeting between Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who discussed tariff negotiations.

Domestically, investors are monitoring economic indicators such as the Monthly Trade Survey, which showed regional variations in retail sales in September, highlighting declines in states like Maranhão and São Paulo, and increases in Tocantins and Amapá.
