Recent data shows Brazil's economy started 2024 with a 0.8% growth in GDP, driven by investment, agriculture, family consumption, and services. Despite the positive numbers, the growth is attributed to government transfers temporarily boosting spending. This could lead to a decrease in momentum soon, especially with the central bank expected to pause interest rate cuts, limiting the administration's spending capability. President Lula, already dealing with food price concerns and flood responses, aims to maintain popularity and growth ahead of mid-term elections.
