Brasília – The Brazilian federal government debt was up 2.66% in November from October 2015, from BRL 2.646 trillion to BRL 2.716 trillion (USD 661.9 billion to USD 679.4 billion), the National Treasury Department reported this Tuesday (22).
Treasury indebtedness could be a consequence of online bond issuance (Treasury Direct) or of direct issuances (with specific destination). Last month, BRL 54.82 billion in debt bonds were issued (USD 13.71 billion) and BRL 12.37 billion in bonds were redeemed (USD 3.09 billion), resulting in a net issuance of BRL 42.45 billion (USD 10.61 billion).
