Good afternoon, everyone.
On behalf of the Joint Budget Committee of the National Congress, Senator Efraim Filho, I would like to greet all the ladies and gentlemen senators present here.
On behalf of the rapporteur of the LDO, Deputy Gervásio Maia, I would like to greet the deputies who are full and alternate members of this committee.
I begin by thanking you for the opportunity to be here to speak about something so important and serious.
I appreciate the courtesy that Senator Efraim extended to me at the last minute.
I was summoned to attend the Mercosur event in Argentina with President Lula and there were some important bilateral meetings, including on South American integration routes.
which is part of the project of the Ministry of Planning and Budget, and we were notified in less than 48 hours, and we had to make a trip 24 hours earlier to be able to hold all the bilaterals, and Senator Efraim, kindly, with less than 12 hours' notice, postponed my coming to this august house, and therefore I thank you on behalf of the senator, ladies and gentlemen, for your understanding.
This is already the third year I come to this house, to this committee, for us to talk about the LDO.
And as usual, Senator Efraim, since this is something very technical and, at first, very bureaucratic, I do not take the full 30 minutes.
In fact, I rarely go over 15, because I think what matters is the debate, for me to note all the observations and questions that are made so that we can develop them.
the best Budget Guidelines Law for Brazil, in a joint effort, in unity, through dialogue, debate and the complementarity of ideas, because this is how politics is done.
So, without further ado, I will give the customary introductions, reminding you only that this is another instrument of our Brazilian budget.
Remember that every four years we prepare the PPA and I never tire of saying that I had the privilege of traveling around Brazil.
visiting all Brazilian state capitals, preparing it with the population, from unions to business owners, from small farmers to large farmers, from students to teachers, and we managed to prepare perhaps the largest and most participatory medium-term planning in Brazil.
We sometimes forget, because it is voted on only every four years, and I had the opportunity to vote on the PPA two or three times.
but, in reality, the PPA is one of the most important budget documents, because it is the link between the LDO and the LOA itself.
There is the Brazil we want, who we want that Brazil for, for the next four years.
So, already in advance, saying that the LDO we will present is, obviously, in consonance with everything that was established in our pluriannual plan.
The LDO... As you know, it obviously guides the preparation of our LOA.
It is, obviously, based on the PPA.
And, most importantly, it sets rules and limits that we will establish by mutual agreement.
The first presentation is just the big numbers and then we will quickly — there are 13 slides or 12 slides — we will quickly address each one of them.
So as not to have my face here... turned and my back to you, I brought a printed copy and I will follow exactly what is there.
Well, first highlight, I would like to point out to you that 2026 will be a challenging year.
We have a primary result target that I would say... possible, feasible, and it is, but challenging.
Our target, as the center of the target, is to have a primary surplus of 0.5% of GDP, which would correspond to around R$ 34.3 billion.
Center of the target, because we could either meet the lower band, zero, or the upper band, 0.5% of GDP.
Within that result, we have the revenue side and the expenditure side.
Our primary revenues, going straight to net revenue, therefore excluding transfers of revenues to states, municipalities and the Federal District, amount to R$ 2,576.8 billion, which corresponds to 18.8% of GDP.
Looking at the expenditure side, following the Acabouço rule, that every year we can increase... expenditure by only 70% of the revenue increase, and also, because there are two ceilings for expenditure, one is revenue, the other is real expenditure growth of up to 2.5%.
We have a total fixed limit of R$ 2.4 trillion, R$ 430 billion, R$ 800 million.
Here it is clear that the IPCA plus real growth of up to 2.5%, depending on whether we also achieve sufficient revenues.
The minimum wage, according to the new rule approved by this house — for which we are grateful, by the way — will be R$ 1,630, remembering that it is INPC plus real growth of 2.5%.
We will talk about it later, because, in reality, there are two rules regarding the minimum wage.
Here I had smaller growth, but we'll talk a little more about it at the end.
Here, very quickly, what I had already said, now only in numbers, the target... Thank you.
The target surplus, we make very clear here that we are maintaining the targets approved in the LDOE for 2025, noting that the target for 2025 is zero, so it is the first line here on the right, and now the PLDO has to present.
For the target of the following year, plus three more years.
So it would be 0.25 for 2026, 0.5 surplus in 27, 1% in 28 and 1.25 in 29, 30, 31.
It is, at first glance, set at 1.25.
