Chamber of Deputies of Brazil approved hands down on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, May 24 new budgetary rules. The new rules end the spending cap introduced in late 2016 under the center-right government of Michel Temer after the impeachment of leftist President Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016) They allow greater flexibility in spending, which can increase at the same rate as tax revenues.
But safeguards ensure a certain budgetary rigour, the increase in expenditure being limited to 70% of the increased State revenue.
