How strong is US consumer confidence towards the holiday season? We’ll know on Tuesday, when the October data will be reported.

2. Brazilian New Aid Eve

Without spending cuts and with next year’s budget at the limit, the federal government will begin this Wednesday (17) Brazilian aid for 14.6 million families. Replacing the Bolsa Família, the resources for the new Social Program will be paid by the end of 2022. In the transition of programs, all Bolsa Família beneficiaries will automatically receive the adjusted amounts. The program maintained the payment dates of the previous social program, according to the calendar already defined by the social registration number (NIS).

The average amount paid per interest will be R$217.18 in November, an increase of 17.8% compared to the Bolsa Família, according to the government. However, the promise was that the resources would amount to R$400 – which, according to the Citizenship Ministry, would happen if the PEC dos Precatório was approved. The Presidential Election Commission deferring union payments and collections was approved by the Justice Department in a second round in the House last week, but it remains to be processed in the Senate.

With the new program pushed, the government is delaying a fiscal adjustment, which would reorganize public accounts in the post-pandemic period. The original text of the budget bill for 2022, sent in late August, projected an initial deficit of 0.6% of GDP, which should be changed. According to Economy Minister Paulo Guedes, Brazilian aid should have an impact of 1% of GDP on 2022 spending.
