AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Election and Business: Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro traded accusations in a tense debate ahead of Sunday’s runoff, with a close race putting fiscal policy, labor costs and Brazil’s ties with China in focus. Labor Costs: Congress has approved a 40-hour, five-day workweek; employers warn the change could raise costs and inflation. Financial Markets: Brazil was the third-largest emerging-market issuer of US-dollar ESG debt in the first nine months of 2026, with 15.9% of issuance excluding China, Fitch says. Financial Services: Plus500 has conditionally agreed to buy Brazilian broker-dealer Guru, giving the trading group a direct foothold in Latin America’s biggest economy. Investment: Critical-minerals projects in Brazil are drawing R$39 billion, adding momentum to the country’s role in strategic supply chains.
