The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad (PT), declared this Tuesday (31) that the tax reform provides for “the reduction of taxes for the industry”.
“That’s the idea. The tax reform foresees the reduction of taxes for the industry. Today we didn’t have any further discussion about it.”
The former mayor of São Paulo was approached by journalists on his way out of an event at the Brazilian Federation of Banks (Febraban), alongside the Minister of Planning, Simone Tebet (MDB).
Heading the two most prominent portfolios in the management of the Brazilian economy, the ministers spoke to the press about the bet on the re-election of Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD) to the presidency of the Senate, the projections of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Brazil, the provisional measure of fuel exemption and the impact of the fiscal deficit in combating inflation.
Besides them, Esther Dweck, Minister of Management, Carlos Fávaro, Minister of Agriculture, and Aloizio Mercadante, President of BNDES, were also present at the breakfast at Febraban. The expectation for the conversation with the country’s biggest bankers was a demonstration of unity of purpose among strong names in Lula’s economic team.
It is no secret that there is a divergence between them and the financial sector, which ends up reinforcing the symbolic importance of this gesture, in an environment that is the target of fierce criticism from the Workers’ Party.
The climate on both sides, according to the calculation of the economy analyst at CNN Thais Heredia, was one of dialogue and rapprochement.
