Novo Regime Fiscal: Um passo atrás para a economia brasileira

Abstract

Since 2012, there is an evident mismatch between the country's revenue and expenditure figures. With the new Temer administration the diagnosis found for this situation is that the high growth of public spending is incompatible with the growth of income. Thus, the solution found was the establishment of a new fiscal regime for the country - the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution 241/2016, which stipulates a limit of the total primary expenditure, adjusted according to the inflation of the previous year. This article tries to discuss the veracity of this diagnosis and to analyze the new fiscal regime and its consequences.
