Currently, the Bank of the Northeast is the main financial agent of the program. By February 2025, the bank had already executed over 86 thousand contracts, moving R$ 720.8 million in credit operations.

This performance confirms the institution’s central role in strengthening the initiative.

During the event, the Secretary of Socioeconomic Inclusion of the MDS, Luiz Carlos Everton, highlighted the importance of the announced increase.

He celebrated the expansion as a progress to support small entrepreneurs.

According to Paulo Câmara, the Acredita no Primeiro Passo was designed to offer real opportunities to beneficiaries of social programs. “The program seeks to provide credit to those who need it most, generate income and jobs, and boost the growth of the Northeast,” he stated.
