Brazil's Finance Minister Fernando Haddad has urged lawmakers to approve a new fiscal framework to address the country's growing public debt, emphasizing the urgency of the situation during a speech in Brasília. He warned that without the new framework, Brazil risks facing a severe economic crisis, as the current debt levels are unsustainable. Haddad's proposal aims to replace the existing spending cap with a more flexible system that would allow for increased public investment while maintaining fiscal responsibility. The minister's call to action comes amid concerns over Brazil's economic stability and the need for structural reforms to ensure long-term growth.
