GDP grows 0.5% in the second quarter, but consumption and industry slow down

oglobo1 September 2026 at 15:42

The Brazilian economy grew 0.5% in the second quarter, a result slightly above market expectations, which was 0.4%. All sectors registered growth, but the increase was not uniform across areas.

The sector that stood out the most was agriculture, with an advance of 2.8%. Services had growth of only 0.2% and industry advanced 0.1%, both with expansion close to stability.

The data indicate a slowdown in consumption and industry, which did not keep pace with agricultural activity in the period analyzed.
