Brazil; Financial System Stability Assessment

The paper discusses the stability of Brazil's financial system, which is diversified and shows sustained economic progress.

These measures have been effective in achieving the immediate targets, maintaining macroeconomic stability, and ensuring adequate financial sector buffers. However, there are indications of emerging strains in some sectors and asset classes.
