Podcast discusses new fiscal framework – Folha – 03/04/2023 – Podcasts

The government promises to send to Congress this week the project for the so-called new fiscal framework, which will have to be voted on by both Houses, starting with the House. The main points of the text were presented on Thursday (30th) by the Ministers of Finance, Fernando Haddad, and of Planning, Simone Tebet.

The measure, which in practice will replace the spending ceiling in force since 2016, provides for real growth in expenses, above inflation, limiting them to 70% of the increase in revenue. The new fiscal rule also creates a public investment floor.

On the day of the announcement, the first reactions were optimistic. But gaps still need to be detailed by the government — such as the source of up to R$ 150 billion in revenue.

This Monday’s Café da Manhã (3) explains the main points of the new tax rule and discusses how the proposal was received in different sectors. The reporter from Sheet Idiana Tomazelli also analyzes how the framework impacts the Lula government’s economic agenda.

The audio program is published on Spotify, streaming service partner of Sheet in the initiative and which specializes in music, podcast and video. You can listen to the episode by clicking above. To access the application, just register for free.
