Government Boosts Year-End Earmark Payments to R$31.01 Billion After R$1.8 Billion Week

Overview

• Roughly R$1.8 billion in parliamentary earmarks were released in the past week, taking 2025 payments to R$31.01 billion, according to updated budget data.
• Of the R$48.49 billion authorized for 2025, R$45.26 billion has been committed, R$31.25 billion liquidated, and R$31.01 billion fully paid.
• About R$17 billion remains without payment, leaving a significant share subject to inscription as carryover obligations if not disbursed before year-end.
• Payments so far are led by individual earmarks at R$19.7 billion, followed by state-bench allocations at R$6.02 billion and committee earmarks at R$5.29 billion.
• A cross-government effort coordinated by the Secretariat for Institutional Relations is expediting the final steps as new transparency rules following Supreme Court rulings added procedural checks this year.
