Banco do Brasil reported that a company in the wholesale sector failed to pay R$ 3,6 billion at the end of 2025, which caused the delinquency rate (delays over 90 days) to rise to 5.17%, above the 4.51% of the previous quarter and the 3.16% from a year earlier. According to the bank, without this specific case, the index would remain at 4.88%. The delinquency rate serves as a thermometer for the financial health of the bank, as it shows the risk of not receiving the borrowed money. The institution stated that this is an isolated case in the portfolio of Securities and Financial Assets and did not reveal the name of the company. Initially, Valor Econômico and g1 pointed out that it would be Braskem, but the company issued a statement denying having outstanding debts with the bank. MY GOD! 📸🇧🇷
