Key Facts
—Household Debt In June 2026, 81.6% of Brazilian families carried some form of debt, a record level that limits disposable income for daily spending and investment.
—Delinquency Level The share of households with overdue bills held at 29.9% in June, meaning nearly one in three families cannot pay on time, which chokes retail cash flow.
—Credit Card Trap 85% of indebted households use credit cards, often carrying costly revolving balances that create a cycle hard to escape when interest rates are high.
