The possibility of voting the PEC on Precatório in the House and the beginning of the vaccination of children against Covid-19 in the United States are some of the highlights of the morning of this Wednesday, November 3, 2021.
PEC of Precatório
The government hopes to approve today the PEC dos Precatórios in the Chamber of Deputies, where the vote has already been postponed other times last month. According to policy analyst Gustavo Uribe, the government has been setting up a task force in recent days for federal deputies to attend the vote.
Energy
Inflation on electricity is expected to result in a 0.11% drop in the country’s GDP this year. This is the conclusion of a study by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI). The amounts are equivalent to a loss of R$8.2 billion in 2021.
water crisis
The rain helped improve the situation of 4 of the 7 reservoirs in the state of São Paulo. The situation, however, is still very critical in several reservoirs throughout Brazil. The Cantareira system, for example, is operating at only 28.2% of its capacity.
COP26
