Brazil’s economy maintained its pace at the end of 2025, with year-over-year GDP growth in the fourth quarter holding steady at 1.8%, unchanged from the 1.8% recorded in the third quarter of 2025. The data, updated on 3 March 2026, indicate that the country neither accelerated nor decelerated in terms of annual growth momentum going into the year’s close.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning the 1.8% reading for the fourth quarter measures output against the same quarter a year earlier, just as the previous 1.8% reading did for the third quarter. This stability suggests that the underlying drivers of Brazil’s economic activity remained broadly consistent through the second half of 2025, with no marked shift in overall growth dynamics heading into 2026.
