Family income commitment with debts rises to 29.8% in June and hits record, says Central Bank

The commitment of Brazilian families' income to debt payments reached a new record of 28.9% in June, according to data from the Central Bank, rising compared to 28.5% in May. The indicator, which measures the percentage of household budget allocated to debt installments, continues its upward trend despite the Desenrola 2.0 program launched by the federal government to renegotiate debts with lower interest rates. Excluding mortgage financing, the commitment stood at 26.6%. Meanwhile, overall indebtedness—which measures total debt relative to income—slightly declined from 49.9% to 49.8%, remaining at elevated levels.

Forbes: at 30 years old, a woman from Belo Horizonte is Brazil's youngest self-made billionaire

Luana Lopes Lara, a 30-year-old from Belo Horizonte, became Brazil's youngest self-made billionaire when she debuted on the Forbes Brazil 2026 list with an estimated fortune of R$ 13.4 billion. Co-founder of Kalshi, an American prediction markets platform, she built her wealth in just over five years. The wealth jump occurred in December 2025, when Kalshi raised US$ 1 billion in a funding round that valued the company at US$ 11 billion, causing Luana and her partner Tarek Mansour, each with approximately 12% stake, to have an estimated net worth of US$ 1.3 billion each. She is one of the rare names on the Brazilian ranking who built their fortune without inheritance.
