Brazil's Finance Minister, Fernando Haddad, has announced the resolution of outstanding issues related to the government's fiscal package aimed at curbing mandatory expenses. Additionally, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has proposed extending the spending cuts to an additional, unspecified ministry. While no specific timeline for the public announcement has been provided, discussions are expected to conclude soon. The government has been in talks with leaders from over ten ministries, including Health, Education, and Pension, to finalize the fiscal adjustments. Despite initial plans to unveil the fiscal package after the municipal elections in late October, a definitive announcement date has yet to be set. Haddad reassured that the package has not stalled and anticipates presenting it to the Lower House and Senate chiefs soon, with hopes for congressional approval within the year.
