Original: Poorer Brazilians devote four times more income to credit card debt, central bank says

Brazil's central bank reports that lower-income Brazilians dedicate roughly four times more of their income to credit card debt than wealthier households, highlighting widening inequality in household finances. The findings point to heavy reliance on revolving credit among poorer consumers amid high interest rates, and economists are warning about rising debt burdens and default risks for the most vulnerable.

Why now: The central bank's new data exposes widening financial inequality and mounting debt stress among Brazil's poorest households.
