Takeaways

• 🇧🇷 The Brazilian government has approved a law allowing it to seize forgotten money in current accounts to fill the fiscal gap of the National Treasury.
• ⚠️ This move is seen as inadmissible and a violation of property rights, with some comparing it to the infamous Plano Collor in 1990, although the speaker will analyze the differences.
• 🏦 The law affects not only current accounts but also judicial deposits, with the total amount involved estimated to be around R 20 billion.
• 🔍 Citizens have up to 30 days to claim forgotten money through the Banco Central do Brasil's official website after the law is published.
• 📈 The government's seizure of these funds is intended to improve the fiscal deficit and help meet fiscal targets.
• 📑 The law specifies that unclaimed funds after 30 days will be transferred to the Union's domain and appropriated by the National Treasury as primary budgetary revenue.
• 🏛 If the 30-day claim period is missed, there is a subsequent 30-day period to contest the collection after the Treasury publishes the collected amounts.
• 🏛️ Legal action to reclaim deposits can be taken within 6 months from the date of publication of the notice, but this is more cumbersome and may not be worthwhile for many.
• 🚫 The speaker argues that this is a more draconian measure than Plano Collor because it is permanent, not temporary like the latter, which was intended to control hyperinflation.
• 🏦 There is also discussion about the potential end of bank secrecy, specifically in relation to ICMS fiscal oversight, which could be a step towards broader financial privacy infringements.
