Lula should have sent a proposal in January, says the president of the Economic Affairs Commission, Vanderlan Cardoso
the president of CAE (Committee on Economic Affairs) of the Senate, Vanderlan Cardoso (PSD-GO), told the Power360 that the government of the president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) should have sent the proposal for a new fiscal rule in January.

“What we are all waiting for is for the government to present this fiscal rule so that interest rates start to drop. It is our hope. I come from the industrial sector, which suffers a lot from high interest rates, in addition to the service sector, industry and the worker himself”, completed.
