Henrique Meirelles como reduzir Pagamento de Juros (~40% do Orçamento Federal)???

In a brief YouTube excerpt, Mario Sebok, a Brazilian finance professional, addresses former central bank president Henrique Meirelles with a pointed question about Brazil's fiscal situation. Sebok highlights that nearly 40% of the federal budget is consumed by interest payments and debt amortization, making it the largest expenditure of the government. He asks Meirelles, leveraging his reputation as a prominent Brazilian banker, to explain how the country could cut these interest and debt‑service costs by half—or more—within the next four years. The intended outcome of such a reduction would be to free up substantial resources for critical public investments in health, education, and security. The excerpt captures the core of the inquiry, the fiscal challenge, the ambitious timeline, and the desired reallocation of savings toward social sectors.
