The effect is already evident in the daily balance: international reserves closed at USD 39,349 million, compared to USD 39,032 million the previous day. At this pace, the level is expected to surpass USD 40,000 million again in just a few days.
The Government achieved a significant breakthrough in the rebuilding of international reserves, in a context marked by the temporary elimination of export duties that boosted the settlement of foreign currency by the agricultural export sector. The Treasury took advantage of this flow to purchase nearly USD 700 million, which provided immediate relief for external accounts.
Yesterday, approximately USD 1,000 million from exporters entered the market, of which the Treasury acquired about USD 300 million. The volume was similar to that recorded on Wednesday, and the figure is expected to increase at the beginning of next week, since the agricultural sector still has a wide margin for settlement.
According to private estimates, the Treasury has accumulated purchases of USD 700 million during the week and could add even more, since around USD 5,000 million in foreign currency remains pending to be received. Most of that amount will be settled between today and Monday, which ensures an immediate reinforcement of reserves.
In addition to rebuilding reserves, the Treasury's intervention sends a message of stability to the market. By purchasing dollars at lower prices, the Government seeks to prevent the exchange rate from falling abruptly, which could generate unnecessary volatility. The wholesale dollar remained below USD 1,340 throughout the day, consolidating a favorable benchmark.
This way, the Government demonstrates a consistent strategy to manage the foreign exchange market, maintain investor confidence, and guarantee certainty ahead of the legislative elections.
