Bolsonaro squandered US$65,8 billion in international reserves during his four-year term, says the Central Bank.
During the combined terms of the governments of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff (2003 to 2015), both from the PT party, the volume of international reserves reached US$ 368,7 billion.
247 - Data from the Central Bank (BC) indicates that Brazil ended 2022 with US$324,7 billion in international reserves, US$65,8 billion less than the reserves recorded at the beginning of the mandate, which were US$390,5 billion.
According to the journalist's column Laura Jardim, from O Globo, “Jair Bolsonaro was the only president who did not increase international reserves, when comparing the first with the last day of government of each of the leaders”.
In 2002, the federal government had only US$16,3 billion in net international reserves, left by the government of then-president Fernando Henrique Cardoso (PSDB).
During the combined terms of the governments of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff (2003 to 2015), both from the PT party, the volume of international reserves reached US$ 368,7 billion. In March 2016, amidst the coup against Dilma, they totaled US$ 372 billion.
