Brazil’s service sector lost some momentum in February 2026, with month-over-month growth easing to 0.1%, down from a 0.2% increase in January. The latest figures, updated on 14 April 2026, suggest that while activity in the sector is still expanding, the pace of growth has moderated compared with the start of the year.
The data are based on a month-over-month comparison, where the February reading of 0.1% reflects the change from January, and the January figure of 0.2% captures the change from December. The deceleration may signal a more cautious phase for Brazil’s service-driven segments, an area closely watched by investors as a key barometer of domestic demand and broader economic resilience.
