Brazil’s service sector returned to growth in April 2026, with the indicator rising 1.2% month-over-month, according to data updated on 11 June 2026. The rebound follows a contraction of 1.2% in March, signaling a notable turnaround in activity within the country’s service industries.
The latest figures show that the April improvement fully offset the previous month’s decline on a month-over-month comparison basis. In March 2026, the sector had weakened compared with February, but April’s recovery suggests a stabilization in demand for services heading into the second quarter.
The month-over-month comparison indicates that, while volatility remains, underlying momentum in Brazil’s service sector may be strengthening after a soft patch in early 2026. Market participants will now watch upcoming releases closely to see whether April’s gain marks the start of a sustained recovery or a temporary correction following March’s drop.
