Brazilian household delinquency rises to 29.9% in August, led by low-income families

Brazilian household delinquency rose to 29.9% in August, with the share of consumers unable to pay overdue bills reaching 12.5%. The deterioration is concentrated among families earning up to three minimum wages, signaling growing financial stress among lower-income households. This suggests weakening consumer credit quality and potential headwinds to consumption, though the broader macroeconomic impact remains uncertain.
