FX.co ★ Brazil’s FDI Inflows Edge Slightly Lower in August, Holding Near July Peak

Brazil’s foreign direct investment (FDI) slipped marginally in August 2026, but remained close to the previous month’s high levels, signaling continued investor interest in Latin America’s largest economy.

FDI inflows totaled USD 7.40 billion in August 2026, down slightly from USD 7.46 billion recorded in July 2026. The modest decline suggests a stabilization rather than a reversal in investment momentum, with foreign capital inflows effectively holding steady month-on-month.

The latest figures were updated on 28 September 2026 and will be closely watched by markets for signs of whether Brazil can maintain this elevated pace of foreign investment in the coming months amid shifting global financial conditions.
