According to a list drawn up by the National Treasury, nine federal state-owned enterprises face weak financial conditions. Among them are Infraero and Correios, which recorded a loss of R$2.64 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The government, together with public and private banks, is currently arranging a 20 billion reais loan for the state-owned company.
The Treasury list also includes five port companies: CDC (Ceará state), CDP (Para state), Cordova (Bahia state), CDRJ (Rio de Janeiro), and Coderun (Rio Grande do Norte state).
Another resonant topic to be discussed in a video call this week is the anti-faction bill sent to Congress by President Lula’s (PT) team. The project’s rapporteur was responsible for Deputy Guilherme Delight (PP-SP), who was the security secretary of his ally and São Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas (R), in a decision that rocked the federal government.
On Tuesday (11th) this week, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad (PT) said that Delight’s opinion “paves the way for the consolidation of organized crime” in Brazil. For the minister, the changes proposed by his deputy would weaken the Federal Revenue Service’s role in the fight against crime.
Additionally, the central bank’s new rules regarding the use of cryptoactive will also be addressed during this conference call. Financial authorities this Monday (10) announced new rules guiding negotiations with domestic crypto assets and the creation of virtual asset service providers.
The new rules also provide that some activities, such as stablecoins and cryptocurrencies that follow the value of a reference asset (usually the dollar), will be treated as foreign exchange market manipulation. This change creates scope for these assets to be subject to IOF (financial operations tax) tax.
