BRASILIA, April 14 (Reuters) - Brazil's Planning
Ministry announced on Friday a zero primary deficit target for
2024, but stated that 172 billion reais ($35.03 billion) in
government spending depend on the approval of a proposed new
fiscal framework.
In a statement about the 2024 budget bill sent to Congress,
the ministry said the new fiscal rules "will enable the
recomposition and execution of priority public policies for the
country," as well as government functioning and the union's
investment.
