The pension reform: a chance for the Brazilian real?

The pension reform a chance for the Brazilian real

Next week will bring some extra volatility to the emerging markets.

The highly anticipated Brazilian pension proposal will be sent to Congress on February 20.

This reform was the key element of the presidential election campaign by Jair Bolsonaro.

It helped him to become the president of Brazil.

The changes to the current pension situation are widely seen as crucial for the Brazilian public finances, as they may bring down Brazil’s mounting fiscal deficit.

However, as with most of the structural reforms, the proposal brought uncertainties to the market.

At first, the Brazilian president was seeking a consensus on the minimum retirement age.

Secondly, the delayed progress of the reform has been keeping investors cautious for the last three months.

Reportedly, the Brazilian president plans to propose a minimum retirement age of 65 years for men and 62 years for women with a 12-year transition period of the reform.

If Congress approves the reform bill, the Brazilian real will rise.
