Brazil’s foreign direct investment (FDI) cooled in May 2026, slipping to USD 7.97 billion after a stronger inflow of USD 8.91 billion in April 2026, according to data updated on 26 June 2026.
The moderation in May comes after April’s higher reading, suggesting that while investor interest in Brazil remains robust in absolute terms, capital inflows have eased from the previous month’s level. The latest figure will be closely watched by markets as an indicator of foreign confidence in Brazil’s economic outlook and policy environment.
