据玛莎·贝克报道，巴西政府计划支出150亿雷亚尔，从银行收购高达1500亿雷亚尔（280亿美元）的逾期消费债务。这是卢拉总统为减轻家庭财务压力并增强其竞选第四任总统胜算而采取的措施之一。
By Martha Beck Brazil’s government plans to spend 15 billion reais to buy as much as 150 billion reais ($28 billion) of delinquent consumer debt from banks, part of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s push to ease the financial strain on households and bolster his bid for a fourth term.
规划部长布鲁诺·莫雷蒂周五向记者表示，政府将于11月举行拍卖，收购涵盖个人债务的银行债务组合，这些债务金额最高为10,000雷亚尔，账龄在2年至4年半之间。
The government will hold an auction in November to acquire bank debt portfolios covering individual obligations of as much as 10,000 reais that are between two and four-and-a-half years old, Planning Minister Bruno Moretti told reporters on Friday.
卢拉已发布一项临时措施，授权进行债务收购，并颁布另一项措施禁止所有形式的在线赌博。
Lula isg a provisional measure authorizing the debt purchases and another banning online gambling in all of its forms.
这项举措是卢拉在10月4日巴西总统大选前推出的一系列措施中的最新一项，旨在经过多年高借贷成本后巩固家庭财务状况。民调显示，卢拉与保守派参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗之间的竞争十分胶着，在最近的几项调查中两人统计上持平。卢拉政府还增加了“家庭补助金”（Bolsa Familia）的福利，并采取措施降低燃料成本。
The initiative is the latest in a series of measures Lula has rolled out ahead of Brazil’s Oct. 4 presidential election, as he seeks to shore up household finances after years of high borrowing costs. Polls show a tight race with conservative Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, with the two candidates statistically tied in several recent surveys. Lula’s government has also increased Bolsa Familia benefits and taken steps to lower fuel costs.
