Brazil's Chamber Puts Financial Resolution Framework on This Week's Plenary Agenda

Leaders cast the push as a response to recent fraud probes, with the economic team set to refine the report before a vote.

Overview

  • Chamber President Hugo Motta said he will schedule the complementary bill this week after rapporteur Marcelo Queiroz filed the latest text and party leaders began final talks.
  • The proposal establishes resolution regimes for institutions overseen by the Central Bank, Susep and the CVM, is backed by the Central Bank and is presented as a follow‑up to its autonomy with the aim of strengthening stability and technical risk assessments.
  • The government’s economic team is slated to meet the rapporteur by Tuesday to fine‑tune details, and leaders link the accelerated timetable to ongoing investigations into alleged fraud at Banco Master.
  • Deputies will also vote on an urgency request to raise the MEI revenue cap, with reporting citing versions at R$130,000 with up to two hires or a 'Super MEI' at R$150,000 indexed to inflation, and Motta said the merit will be debated only after broader consultations.
  • The week’s agenda includes the urban public transport framework led by rapporteur José Priante, a consumer measure on cocoa content disclosure in chocolate, and bills targeting violence against women.
