Erika Hilton stated that the Chamber had approved a proposal from the Lula government to forgive all debts of individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs) with the Federal Government. According to her, nearly R$ 13 billion in liabilities would cease to exist, freeing up resources for entrepreneurs and their families and boosting the economy. Hilton also said that the proposal would raise the annual revenue limit for MEIs, which has been frozen at R$ 81,000 since Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2018. The ceiling would increase to R$ 110,000 the following year, within two months, and to R$ 140,000 in 2028. She also stated that MEIs would be able to hire up to two employees and would have an easier time selling products in government purchases. The congresswoman mentioned that the proposal still needed to be approved by the Senate and presented it as an achievement of the Lula government. She also endorsed the candidate supporting the end of the 6x1 scale and the MEIs for the 25th: Lula. #MEI #EconomiaBrasileira #GovernoLula (translated)

Totocaputo said that he did not believe it was a matter of dishonesty, but he maintained that 90 percent of economists did not understand how the market worked. According to what he wrote, many conceived it as an Excel spreadsheet and assumed that it could be bought at any moment; he added that last year some had used that reasoning to assert that they were finally being taken seriously because they ended up buying. The author maintained that purchases are made when the market sells and that buying when the market demands can raise prices and reduce the quantity obtained. He pointed out that this effect was especially relevant in shallow markets, such as the dollar market in Argentina, and due to the involvement of the BCRA. He also stated that academic economists were employed in banks to write but not to manage investments and warned against following their advice. #Economía #Mercados #Inversión (translated)
