Brazilian consumer confidence rose 1.0 point in April, according to FGV Ibre.

THE Consumer Confidence Index (CCI), calculated by Brazilian Institute of Economics of the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV Ibre) Consumer confidence advanced 1.0 point from March to April, extending gains for the second consecutive month and reaching its highest level since December 2025. In the three-month moving average, the index rose 0.6 points to 87.8 points. "The second consecutive increase in consumer confidence was driven mainly by an improved perception of the current situation. Among the factors considered, there was an improvement in the assessment of the financial situation of families, especially consumers in the lowest income bracket, who earn up to R$ 2,100.00 per month," he states. Anna Carolina Gouveia, economist from FGV IBRE"Lower inflation and a robust labor market have been key factors in a less pessimistic assessment by consumers, but in recent months the income tax exemption may have provided temporary relief for lower-income families," he adds.
