The state assembly of Amazonas has authorized the inclusion of a R$ 3.2 billion loan in the state budget for 2026, aimed at securing funding from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). This legislative action, taken at the request of Governor Wilson Lima (União Brasil-AM), was deemed necessary to ensure compliance with local laws that stipulate that financing revenues must be included in the Annual Budget Law (LOA), which is scheduled for approval in December 2025. The overall budget for Amazonas in 2026 is projected to be R$ 38 billion.

The bill was voted on during the 17th Ordinary Session of the assembly, led by the president, Roberto Cidade (União Brasil-AM). Following its approval, the legislation requires the governor's sanction before it is enacted. Notably, the individual votes on the bill have not been made public, which raises questions about transparency in the legislative process and individual representatives' stances on the budgetary measures proposed.

The loan is earmarked to help settle existing internal debts that carry higher interest rates, indicating a strategic financial maneuver by the state government to optimize its financial management. This decision may have significant implications for the state's fiscal situation, potentially affecting future budget allocations and financial stability as Amazonas navigates its economic landscape in the coming years.
