A list prepared by the National Treasury showed that nine federal state-owned companies face a fragile financial situation. Among them are Infraero and Correios, which recorded a loss of R$2.64 billion in the second quarter of 2025. Now, the government is arranging a R$20 billion loan for the state-owned company, with public and private banks.
The Treasury also includes five dock companies on the list: CDC (Ceará), CDP (Pará), Codeba (Bahia), CDRJ (Rio de Janeiro), and Codern (Rio Grande do Norte).
Another topic of repercussions this week that will be discussed in the video call is the anti-factionalism bill, which President Lula’s team has sent to Congress. The project was decided by Representative Guilherme Dirit (PP-SP), an ally and security secretary for the governor of São Paulo state, Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans), in a decision that shook the federal government.
Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said, on Tuesday (11), that Derret’s opinion “paves the way for the consolidation of organized crime” in Brazil. For the minister, the changes proposed by the representative weaken the role of the Federal Revenue Service in combating crimes.
Furthermore, the central bank’s new rules for the use of cryptocurrencies will also be addressed in the call. On Monday (10), the monetary authority announced new rules to guide negotiations with crypto assets in the country and the establishment of virtual asset service providers.
The new rule also stipulates that certain activities will be treated as foreign exchange market operations, such as stablecoins and cryptocurrencies that track the value of a reference asset – generally the dollar. This change has created scope for these assets to be subject to IOF (financial operations tax) charges.
