Understand The Numbers Released By The Institution That Indicate A Negative Currency Flow Of Over US$ 1.8 Billion In August.

The Central Bank (BC) released data that raises a red flag: Brazil’s gross external debt was estimated at US$ 362.147 billion in July, equivalent to nearly R$ 1.9 trillion. In addition to the high debt value, the institution revealed that the country recorded a net outflow of dollars in August.

Brazilian External Debt In July

According to the report from the Central Bank, the value of external debt in July showed a slight decrease. In the previous month, June, the projected figure was a bit higher, at US$ 363.133 billion.

Details On Maturity Terms

The composition of the debt, as detailed by the Central Bank, is divided into two main terms. The long-term amount represents the largest portion, totaling US$ 269.006 billion. The short-term obligations, on the other hand, were recorded at US$ 93.141 billion.

Cumulative Currency Flow In August

The movement of foreign currencies showed an unfavorable scenario. According to BC data, as of August 22, the cumulative currency flow in the country recorded a negative balance of US$ 1.833 billion.

Analysis Of The Financial And Commercial Sector

This outflow of resources was observed in the two main segments. The financial sector, which includes investments and remittances, had the greatest impact, with a deficit of US$ 1.814 billion. Meanwhile, the commercial sector recorded a negative balance of US$ 19 million, with imports (US$ 15.131 billion) exceeding exports (US$ 15.112 billion).

The report from the Central Bank also indicated that the net position of banks in the spot foreign exchange market was short by US$ 27.812 billion during the analyzed period.
