Following Brazil's recent election, the real currency dropped 8.21% and the Ibovespa stock index fell 18.4%, driven by investor fears over the country's growing public debt, expected to hit nearly 83% of GDP by 2026, and ongoing primary deficits. Market stability now hinges on a credible, gradual fiscal adjustment rather than denial or harsh austerity.
