The New Special Credit of R$ 500 Million Strengthens the Action of the Brazilian Navy by Ensuring the Continuity of Frigates and Expanding the Protection of National Waters

The National Congress is analyzing Bill No. 32/25, which provides for the opening of a special credit of R$ 500 million in the 2025 Budget for a new program from the Command of the Brazilian Navy.

The initiative aims to allow the Union to participate in the capital of the Naval Projects Management Company, Emgepron, ensuring the continuity of the Tamandaré Class Frigate Program throughout 2026.

Allocation of Resources

According to the Ministry of Defense, the credit will be applied to the construction of escort ships equipped with systems and sensors aimed at protecting maritime traffic.

The message accompanying the project details that the Tamandaré Class frigates will also perform patrol duties in Brazilian waters.

Additionally, they will strengthen the oversight of economic activities such as oil exploration and fishing, and contribute to combating cross-border and environmental crimes.

The government also points out that the proposal uses the rules of Complementary Law No. 221/25, which authorizes the discounting of expenses with strategic projects in national defense from the calculation of the primary result target and the annual spending limit.

Signed into law last week, this legislation allocates R$ 30 billion for strategic projects over the next six years.

Next Steps in Analysis

Bill No. 32/25 will now proceed for evaluation by the Joint Budget Committee. After this step, it will be considered in a joint session by the Plenary of the National Congress, comprising the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate.
