Brazil's National Monetary Council (CMN) has expanded credit access for states by allowing loans without requiring a federal government guarantee. This change could enable states to finance projects more independently, potentially accelerating local development but also increasing financial risks for state governments. The move comes alongside other financial reforms, including reduced interest rates for the Casa Brasil Reform program and new regulations for vehicle renewal programs.
