Brazil’s Federal Public Debt (DPF) increased by 1.37% in nominal terms, and reached R$5.9 trillion in December 2022. In November, the FPD value was R$5.87 trillion, an increase of around R$30 billion.
The data were released this Thursday (26) by the National Treasury Secretariat of the Ministry of Economy.
According to the Ministry of Finance, this variation is due to the positive appropriation of interest, in the amount of R$ 54.38 billion, and net issuance, in the amount of R$ 26.25 billion.
The FPD, which includes the federal government’s internal and external debt, is the issuance of public bonds by the National Treasury to finance the federal government’s budget deficit, which collects less than it spends.
The average cost of issues showed an increase of 0.05 percentage points, changing from 10.16% per year in November to 10.21% in December. The average FPD cost accumulated in 12 months increased from 10.73% pa to 10.80% pa in the period.
