State-Owned Companies Closed August 2025 With Deficit, After Four Consecutive Years of Surpluses; Consolidated Public Sector Also Closed in the Red.

Brazilian state-owned companies registered a deficit of R$ 6 million in August 2025, according to the “Fiscal Statistics” report released by the Central Bank on Tuesday (30). This result breaks a four-year streak of surpluses in the same month.

Recent Trajectory of State-Owned Companies

The numbers show a change in performance. In August 2021, state-owned companies recorded a surplus of R$ 483.8 million. The following year, the positive result reached R$ 969.6 million. In 2023, the surplus was R$ 866 million, and in 2024 it totaled R$ 468.9 million.

This year, however, the negative balance of R$ 6 million marked a break in the recent surplus trajectory.

Consolidated Public Sector and Gross Debt

In the same period, the consolidated public sector, composed of the Union, States, municipalities, and state-owned companies, had a primary deficit of R$ 17.3 billion in August.

The Gross Debt of the General Government, which includes the federal government, the INSS, and state and municipal governments, remained stable compared to the previous month. The indicator stayed at 77.5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), totaling R$ 9.6 trillion in August, the same level observed in July.

The data highlight the contrast between the results of state-owned companies in recent years and the broader performance of public accounts in 2025, marked by sustained high debt levels and the reversal of positive balances in state-owned enterprises.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

A 366-meter ship arrives at the Port of Rio de Janeiro for the first time, marking a new phase of international navigation after a R$ 163 million dredging, a new operational draft, and an unprecedented operation with the giant New Panamax in Guanabara Bay.
