Brazilian public-debt forecasts for the next few years are raising concern. The gross debt, which ended 2015 at 66.2% of GDP, could reach nearly 84% in 2018 according to Itaú projections. The level that excludes foreign reserves from the gross debt could also rise, going to 58% of GDP in 2018 from 42% last year. Itaú expects the public sector to continue posting primary deficits in the period, marked by very weak economic performance and high real interest rates.
