The Federal Public Debt declined 2.34% in March, going from R$ 8.841 trillion to R$ 8.633 trillion. The drop occurred due to the maturation of securities linked to the Selic Rate.
The Federal Public Debt is the instrument through which the government borrows funds from investors to meet financial commitments, pledging to return the amounts with adjustments that can follow the Selic rate, inflation, or exchange rate. The indicator had surpassed the R$ 8 trillion mark for the first time in August last year, and the significant maturity of Selic-linked bonds was the main factor behind the March decline.
