It was the poorest result for the month since records started being kept in 2001. The primary deficit means spending outweighed revenues, and it does not include government debt expenses. <\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian Central Bank said this Wednesday (31) that the year-to-date deficit is BRL 35.592 billion (USD 10.991 billion). The comparable period of 2015 had seen a BRL 6.205 billion surplus. The Central Bank&rsquo;s Economic Department chief T&uacute;lio Maciel believes the July and year-to-date deficits in 2016 came as a result of economic contraction, which led to reduced tax collection, thereby causing revenues to shrink. <\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil\u2019s federal, states and local governments ran a BRL 12.816 billion deficit last month, the worst for a July since record-keeping began in 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-55031","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-economy"},"wps_subtitle":"Brazil\u2019s federal, states and local governments ran a BRL 12.816 billion deficit last month, the worst for a July since record-keeping began in 2001.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55031\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
