💨 Abstract

The Brazilian Minister of Social Development, Wellington Dias, has suggested a potential adjustment to the Bolsa Familia cash transfer program due to rising food prices. Discussion on this matter is ongoing and a decision is expected by March. The program, which costs 166.3 billion reais annually and benefits around 20.5 million families, may be readjusted amid President Lula da Silva's concerns over food prices and declining popularity.
