Bras\u00edlia \u2013 Subsidies for diesel oil and the increase in non-compulsory expenses were responsible for the Central Government (National Treasure, Social Security System and Central Bank) to register the second-largest deficit ever for a September with BRL 22.979 billion (USD 6.56 billion).<\/p>\n

Only September 2016 registered a larger deficit with BRL 25.239 billion (USD 7.20 billion). In comparison to September of last year, the deficit increased 0.7% in nominal value, but dropped 3.7% when adjusted to last year\u2019s inflation as measured by the Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA).<\/p>\n

Primary deficit is the government\u2019s fiscal deficit minus interest payment on public debt. From January to September, the deficit has reached BRL 81.591 billion (USD 23.26 billion), down 28.6% when compared to the same period of 2017 (BRL 109.566 billion\/USD 31.24 billion), IPCA-adjusted. Even including September, the year-to-date ending in September deficit is the lowest for the first nine months of the year since 2015.<\/p>\n
