Brazil's finance and planning ministries have inserted spending-control mechanisms into an unrelated bill before Congress, with three sources indicating the changes are projected to generate 10 billion reais ($1.94 billion) in savings next year. The measures target mandatory spending growth under a fiscal framework capping annual increases at 0.6 percent, amid a projected 52 billion reais primary deficit. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is campaigning for reelection in October without explicitly calling for deeper fiscal adjustments.
