Brazilian inequality in 6 graphs: Oxfam study data

Pt Noticias6 September 2026 at 01:55

Oxfam, an international organization dedicated to fighting inequality, released a detailed study on inequality in Brazil, presented through six graphs illustrating the concentration of income and wealth in the country.

According to the study's data, the richest 1% of the Brazilian population concentrates 24.3% of all national income, highlighting the extreme disparity in income distribution in the country.

Furthermore, the same group holds 37.3% of all Brazilian wealth, demonstrating that the concentration of wealth is even more pronounced when observing the accumulation of goods and assets.

The study offers a comprehensive analysis of the data, allowing for a thorough understanding of Brazil's socioeconomic situation and the challenges related to inequality in the country.

September 5th, Security Guard Day in Portugal!

In an opinion post published on Security Guard Day in Portugal (September 5th), Paulo Brito publicly thanked private security guards and criticized the lack of recognition for the profession. The author warned of the existence of professionals who underestimate the field, supervisors with no knowledge of labor laws, and unions that, in his view, promote divisions among security guards of different specialties and negotiate salary increases below the National Minimum Wage. Brito defended the unity of approximately 40,000 security guards as a means of pressure for better working conditions and warned that the fragmentation of the sector only benefits employers.

Swiss watchmaking seeks innovation to attract young consumers

The Swiss luxury watch industry faces significant challenges in attracting younger consumers, with exports falling from 25.4 million units in 2016 to 14.6 million last year. The strategy of offsetting declining sales with higher prices has benefited premium brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Cartier, but has penalized mid-range manufacturers. The president of Geneva Watch Days and chairman of Bulgari, Jean-Christophe Babin, warns that the sector has prioritized technical improvements over bolder innovations, and that Chinese movements already present quality comparable to Swiss suppliers in the most common complications.

BPI in Angola. More than three decades of a "beautiful story" that yielded many profits

BPI is about to leave the Angolan market after more than three decades, selling the 33.35% it held in Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA) to Grupo Carrinho for approximately 388.5 million euros. The exit was forced by the European Central Bank in 2014, which required the reduction of exposure to Angola. The initial investment of three million euros generated returns exceeding one billion, including dividends, sales of stakes to Unitel and capital gains. The stake was progressively reduced to the current 33.35%, with the now agreed sale marking the end of a presence that was profitable but conditioned by regulatory obligations.
