Vice President Geraldo Alckmin will have access to the project for the new fiscal framework this Tuesday (14th), at 8:30 am, in a meeting with the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, and members of the economic team. Participating in the meeting are the executive secretary of the portfolio, Gabriel Galipolo, and the secretary of the National Treasury, Rogério Ceron.

The meeting with Haddad and the economic team was mentioned by Alckmin at the end of this Monday afternoon (13), but without a date scheduled until then. The finance minister’s expectation was to have met with the vice president later that afternoon, hours after announcing that the project for the new fiscal rule was ready. The mechanism is expected to be presented to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) later this week.

“[O novo arcabouço] should be voted on in a supplementary law, which should be forwarded to the National Congress in the next 30 to 60 days. It should take into account the spending limit, it should take into account the debt curve, debt evolution, and the surplus issue. It’s a combination of several factors. Let’s wait for the Minister of Finance, after President Lula’s approval, to announce it,” he told Agência Brasil.

Earlier, Haddad said that the new fiscal framework should guide the elaboration of the 2024 Budget Guidelines Law.
