Overview
- The provisional measure took immediate effect to open a BNDES credit line for new and semi-new trucks.
- The Treasury will provide R$6 billion, with BNDES adding resources from its own balance sheet.
- Beneficiaries include autonomous truckers, members of road-transport cooperatives, and individual entrepreneurs and companies in the sector.
- Loans for new trucks apply only to domestically manufactured vehicles, and financing of semi-new units is limited to autonomous drivers and cooperative members.
- Interest rates will be set by the National Monetary Council, and the operation is classified as a financial expense that does not affect the fiscal target but increases gross public debt.
