Brazil

This technical assistance (TA) mission on Government Finance Statistics (GFS) and Public Sector Debt Statistics (PSDS) was conducted in Brazil during August 5–16, 2024. The primary objective of the mission was to assist the authorities in their efforts to enhance data quality and strengthen the compilation and dissemination of fiscal and public debt data for analysis and decision-making, in line with internationally comparable best practices and standards. In addition, the mission reviewed the progress made by the authorities in implementing previous TA recommendations and assisted in developing a proposed five-year work program (2024–2029) aimed at strengthening Brazil’s fiscal statistics and establishing the necessary conditions for their adoption as official statistics for policy purposes.
