The Assistant Secretary of the National Treasury, Viviane Varga, said on Tuesday, 15, that there is no discussion in the government’s scenario about change in the target of primary result for the coming years.
She also assured that the primary result goals set in the 2026 Budgetary Guidelines (PLDO) bill reflect a trajectory compatible with the commitment of the economic team to stabilization and reduction of public debt. According to Varga, the gradual elevation of the primary surplus acts as a fiscal anchor, essential to contain and reverse the country’s indebtedness growth.
Varga also assessed that the conduct of a more restrictive monetary policy has a relevant effect on the trajectory of public debt, but ensured that the government has been adopting all necessary measures to expand the primary surplus and, thus, stabilize the indebted curve.
She stressed that the resumption of investment degree is a priority for the country and that this goal will be pursued by the National Treasury. Varga also reiterated that the fiscal goals set by the government are being met, which, according to her, is already positively reflected in the evaluations of risk classification agencies.
