Lula vs Bolsonaro: how much the Ibex has at stake in the Brazilian elections

Spanish companies with significant investments in Brazil, such as Santander, Telefónica, Iberdrola, Naturgy, Mapfre, and Indra, are closely watching the country's presidential and legislative elections on October 4. The outcome may lead to significant fluctuations in the economy, currency, debt, and interest rates, affecting the companies' earnings.

Brazil's current president Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro are competing for the presidency, while the entire lower house and two-thirds of the Senate are up for renewal. Analysts expect a Lula win to lead to increased public spending and deficit, while a Bolsonaro victory would likely result in budget containment.
