The Brazilian gross domestic product inched higher by 0.1% from the previous quarter in the final three months of 2025, aligned with market expectations, following the downwardly revised stall in the earlier period. Private consumption stalled, consolidating the ongoing slowdown in the Brazilian economy since the second quarter of the year, aligning with the likely resumption of the Brazilian central bank's rate cuts. This was combined with a 3.5% slump in gross fixed capital formation, signaling that the period of restrictive rates by the BCB dented investment levels. In turn, these were offset by a 1% increase in government expenditure. Meanwhile, net foreign demand contributed positively to the GDP growth as exports rose 3.7%, while imports dropped by 1.8%.
