A net redemption of 163.17 billion reais last month contributed to the reduction of public debt, a value only partially neutralized by an incorporation of interest of 57.46 billion reais.
According to data from the ministry, the average cost of the federal public debt stock accumulated over 12 months reduced last month, falling from 11.35% per year in July to 11.08%. For new issues of domestic debt securities, the average cost fell from 10.90% to 10.80% per year.
During the period, there was an increase in the average maturity period of Brazilian bonds to 4.11 years, compared to 4.03 years recorded in July.
At the beginning of the month, the Treasury changed the goals of its Annual Financing Plan (PAF) for 2024, starting to foresee a greater share of securities linked to the Selic rate in the composition of the federal public debt.
At the time, the ministry informed that the new limits for securities linked to the Selic would be between 43% and 47% this year, against the target established in January of closing 2024 with a share of 40% to 44%.
Even with the increase, the share of securities linked to the Selic is already approaching the new ceiling established by the ministry, rising from 44.95% in July to 46.85% last month.
