Summary
Brazil will immediately begin paring back emergency fuel subsidies introduced after the Middle East war, according to a person familiar with the matter.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is unwinding the support to signal fiscal restraint, shifting away from crisis-era measures meant to cushion fuel costs.
The rollback marks an early test of how far Lula can tighten policy while managing the domestic impact of higher energy prices tied to the conflict.
