Brazil Gross Savings
Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS
Brazil's gross savings was 14.22% in 2025, ranked 126th globally. This represents a 0.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1975–2025.
Overview
Brazil's gross savings stood at 14.22% in 2025, a rise of +0.08% from 2024. The IMF projects 14.22% by 2025. Brazil ranked 126th globally.
Brazil’s gross savings rate has fallen sharply from its all‑time peak of 35.81 % in 1989 to a historic trough of 12.31 % in 2019, before modestly rebounding to 14.22 % in 2025, placing the country 126th in the world. Over the 51‑year series, the decline reflects prolonged periods of fiscal deficits, low investment returns and demographic pressures that eroded the capacity to retain income. The 2025 figure is virtually identical to Uruguay’s 14.22 % and only marginally below Pakistan’s 14.27 %, suggesting Brazil now clusters with other emerging economies that face similar savings constraints. The modest uptick since 2019 coincides with recent policy measures aimed at fiscal consolidation and incentives for private capital formation, yet the rate remains well below the 1975 level of 20.62 %. Sustained improvement will likely depend on structural reforms that boost productivity, reduce public debt and encourage higher household and corporate saving rates, which could gradually lift Brazil’s gross savings trajectory.
