💨 Abstract

Brazil's government has denied plans to increase the Bolsa Familia cash-transfer benefit, contradicting earlier remarks by a minister. The program, which provides direct cash transfers to Brazil's poorest households, is not currently under review. The topic is not on the government's agenda. The Bolsa Familia serves around 20.5 million families with an average monthly benefit of about 674 reais.
