在这样的背景下，巴西国民议会试图重振市场信心，在去年12月批准了前所未有的宪法修正案，为非利息政府支出设置了一个至少为期十年的上限，这个上限与前一年的通货膨胀率挂钩。
Against this background, Brazil’s National Congress, seeking to regain market confidence, approved an unprecedented constitutional amendment last December that imposes a ceiling on non-interest government expenditures, indexed to the previous year’s inflation rate, for a period of at least ten years.
