On the domestic side, Economy Minister Paulo Guedes said that Brazil's government may consider new economic measures if needed, although he considers mass vaccination a cheaper option. On the data front, Brazil’s current account balance shifted to a mild surplus in November of 2020 compared to a deficit a year ago, although below market estimates.
