In a recent move, the Brazilian government has taken significant steps to help over one million citizens in debt in the country. This initiative, led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, aims to provide financial relief to many who are facing economic challenges.
If you are among the millions of Brazilians looking for a solution to their debts, this could be your chance.
Debt renegotiation
In an effort to ease the financial pressure on citizens, the Brazilian government, in a solemn ceremony at the Planalto Palace, announced a unique opportunity for debt renegotiation. This initiative is especially targeted at students who benefited from the Student Financing Fund (Fies).

The numbers reveal the magnitude of the problem: the Fies has accumulated around 1.2 million contracts that are in default. This translates into a colossal debt of R$1.4T 54 billion. This situation not only reflects the financial challenge faced by many graduates, but also the urgent need for solutions that can alleviate this burden.
The government’s proposed renegotiation is not only an attempt to recover funds, but also a way to ensure that students and former students can have a more stable financial future, without the constant shadow of outstanding debts. It is an opportunity for those in debt to restructure their financial commitments and seek a fresh start.

Conditions and benefits of renegotiation
The new legislation establishes more favorable terms for students who signed FIES contracts until the end of 2017 and for those with debts due until June 30 of the current year. These individuals can now renegotiate their debts, with significant discounts on charges and interest.
However, in some cases, discounts can reach 100% on charges and up to 12% on the principal amount for payments in cash. In addition, those in debt can opt for installments of up to 150 months, with a total reduction in interest and fines.
