The National Congress approved last week two laws considered essential to prepare Brazil for future economic challenges, after a long period of delay. The senators were responsible for endorsing both bills.

On Tuesday, the senators approved a bill that restores tax incentives for the installation of data centers in the country. This measure aims to attract investments to the technology and digital infrastructure sector.

The following day, the senators endorsed the Critical Minerals bill, which establishes rules and incentives for the exploration and processing of various ores, including rare earths, minerals considered strategic for the global economy.

Both approvals represent, according to the article, a correct step by the Brazilian Legislative toward the economy of the future, meeting demands from the productive sector and strengthening strategic areas for the country's development.

Rio needs to take advantage of the relief to put the accounts in order

The State of Rio de Janeiro achieved historic relief by joining the Full Debt Payment Program (Propag), which reduced the monthly debt installment to the Union from R$ 490 million to R$ 119 million and replaced the IPCA plus 4% per year adjustment with something close to zero for the next 30 years. After nine years in the Fiscal Recovery Regime, marked by rising debt, court injunctions, and renegotiations, the state gains an opportunity to contain the explosive trajectory of its indebtedness, although the relief is conditioned on a debt service that, even if smaller, will grow over time.
