That would surpass the October 2020 peak of 89% in the central bank series dating back to 2006. "It reduces the degree of freedom for the central bank to manage monetary policy," said Ramos. Brazil's central bank has held interest rates at 13.75% since August, after 12 straight hikes that lifted rates from a 2% record low in March 2021. Lula campaigned openly against the constitutional spending cap that limits spending growth to inflation. The proposal also removes some public investments from the cap, opening space for another 23 billion reais in public spending next year.

BRASILIA, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Guilherme Estrella, former director of Brazil's state-controlled oil giant Petrobras (PETR4.SA), filed a lawsuit in court to block the payment of dividends by the company. Estrella asks for studies to be carried out to prove that the distribution of dividends does not compromise the company's competitiveness. Petrobras did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside normal business hours. On Friday, prosecutors from Brazil's audit court TCU asked to suspend dividends of around 43.7 billion reais announced by Petrobras last week on the back of a stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit. According to Reuters calculations, the amount represents more than double the average shareholder benefit paid by each of the five biggest Western oil producers.

People on social media say, wrongly, that the leftist candidate in Brazil’s presidential election plans to close down churches if elected. The Supreme Court sided with the electoral court in a hearing Tuesday. The electoral court has said the hackers didn’t gain access to any vote-counting data. The Supreme Court and some of its justices have also been victims of the disinformation war, with one post threatening violence against the daughters of justices. Complaints filed by the electoral court with online platforms have gone up 1,671% compared to the 2020 local elections, the electoral tribunal said last week.

MEXICO CITY, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Walmart's Mexico unit on Thursday posted a 10% jump in third-quarter net profit, tracking analyst estimates, while expenses grew faster than revenue due to higher e-commerce and labor costs, the company said. Walmart de Mexico (WALMEX.MX), the biggest retailer in Mexico, posted a net profit of 12.15 billion pesos ($603.8 million), or 0.70 pesos a share, compared with the Refinitiv estimate of 0.69 pesos. The company known as Walmex said e-commerce makes up 4.8% of total Mexico sales, up from 4.5% a year ago. "The current environment requires a lot more focus and attention than the day-to-day business typically does," said Chief Executive Guilherme Loureiro in the results webcast. Annual inflation hit 8.76% in the first half of September.

BRASILIA, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Brazilian presidential candidate Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has proposed a broad consumer debt renegotiation program backed by government guarantees, aimed at relief for lower-income families if he wins an Oct. 30 runoff election, a senior adviser said. Renegotiated debts would be partially covered by a government guarantee fund of 7-16 billion reais, Mello said.

The details of the plan, described broadly in Lula's leftist presidential platform, come after right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsonaro announced a debt renegotiation program for some 4 million clients of state bank Caixa Econômica Federal. But they are also studying strategies to encourage restructuring of bank debt at lower interest rates by reducing lenders' compulsory deposits.
