Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Under Rousseff, increased expenditure and tax breaks to promote growth caused imbalances that compounded the impact of a global commodities downturn.
48% : Even so, Brazil's nominal deficit -- which includes interest payments -- has more than doubled to 9.5 per cent since Lula took office, pushing up public borrowing.
43% : Mostly funded by increased tax receipts, the shortfall is expected to be about 0.5 per cent in 2024, compared to 2.1 per cent in 2023.
