Brazil’s gross debt-to-GDP ratio inched up to 82.9% in August 2026 from 82.5% in July 2026, according to data updated on 30 September 2026, highlighting ongoing fiscal strains in Latin America’s largest economy.

On a month-over-month basis, the August reading marks a 0.4 percentage point increase in the stock of gross public debt relative to the size of the economy. This follows July’s level of 82.5%, with the current figure indicating a continued upward trajectory when compared with the prior month.

The latest data, assessed on a month-over-month comparison, suggests that Brazil’s public debt burden remains elevated, with August’s rise adding to concerns over the country’s fiscal consolidation path and the capacity to stabilize the debt ratio over the medium term.
