Brazil allocates $3.7B for tariffs impact

The Brazilian government announces the allocation of $3.7 billion (approximately 18.5 billion reals) to support companies affected by the new American customs duties imposed by Washington, which amount to 25% on a wide range of Brazilian goods, including agricultural machinery, wood products, ethanol, and clothing. This comes amid escalating trade tensions between the two countries, with the tariffs threatening to reduce Brazilian exports to the United States by between $7 billion and $11 billion—equivalent to 18% to 26% of total exports. It has been reported that the government will fund part of this support from the treasury and the Brazilian Development Bank, while the United States exempts some key goods such as beef, coffee, and aircraft from the tariffs. Brazil is also facing a U.S. investigation into allegations of forced labor, which could lead to additional tariffs of up to 12.5%, potentially increasing the financial impact on its exports.
