Fiscal framework: spending floor brings risk to the economy, experts point out

The deputy is meeting during this week to discuss with several benches, in order to gather suggestions and understandings. In the parliamentarian’s view, this is a way of analyzing what will be the best way to deal with the specific issue of triggers.

“There is a doubt there, it is the criminalization of non-achievement of goals. And this we want to remove from the discussion so that it does not harm the understanding that the goals are in fact an effort to be achieved”, said Cajado.

Deputy Cláudio Cajado said that it is necessary that all parliamentarians give a favorable vote for the project to be approved in the Chamber of Deputies and criticized a type of severe punishment.

“You have serious and less serious punishments, what I think is that we take into account, what I even heard from technicians, that we should not face sanctions in a draconian way, as if they were the solution in themselves of the problem. I think that the Chamber is plural, it has many ideas, many suggestions and we are going to find a balance point that gives sustainability and effectiveness to the fiscal framework”, he said.

During the event, Cajado declined to comment on whether the preventive spending block will continue or whether it will cease to exist, but the parliamentarian defended that the new fiscal framework has permanent parameters.

Tax framework: understand what changes in the lives of the population with the new rules

“There is an intention for you to bring not from the body of the LDO, but to the text of the fiscal framework, this effectiveness of these parameters that were presented so that you have more robustness, you have a little more firmness that these parameters, these goals will remain for longer. There is experience that you change the LDO every three months a year, so you bring it to the text, even though it is not a very inflexible rule to change”, he evaluates.

According to the text, the new fiscal framework provides for a general rule for increasing spending in the years 2024 to 2027. Thus, real growth in spending is limited to 70% of the variation in revenue calculated in the last 12 months.
