In January 2026, Brazil's outstanding loan stock fell 0.2% to R$7.1 trillion, following a 1.8% increase the previous month. This decline was mainly due to a 1.7% drop in corporate credit, despite a 0.7% rise in household credit. Year-over-year growth slowed to 10.1%.

Brazil’s total outstanding loan stock declined 0.2% month-on-month to R$7.1 trillion in January 2026, reversing the prior month’s 1.8% gain. The decrease was driven by a 1.7% contraction in corporate credit, which offset a 0.7% expansion in household credit to R$2.7 trillion and R$4.5 trillion, respectively. Year-over-year growth decelerated to 10.1% in January from 10.3% in December 2025.
