FX.co ★ Brazil’s Current Account Deficit Narrows to USD 5.61 Billion in February 2026

Brazil’s current account deficit narrowed in February 2026, with the balance improving to USD -5.61 billion from USD -8.36 billion in January 2026. The latest figures, updated on 27 March 2026, point to a moderation in external imbalances after a deeper shortfall at the start of the year.

The month-on-month improvement of USD 2.75 billion in the current account suggests that Brazil’s external position strengthened in February compared to January. While the account remains in deficit, the reduced gap may ease some pressure on the country’s external financing needs and could be viewed positively by investors monitoring Brazil’s balance-of-payments dynamics.

Market participants and policymakers will likely watch upcoming data to see whether February’s narrowing deficit marks the start of a sustained trend or reflects temporary factors in trade and income flows. For now, the February numbers indicate a notable improvement from the prior month’s weaker reading.
