FGTS and the market of real estate-backed securities: relationships and trends
Keywords:
housing finance, real estate-backed securities, FGTS, financializationAbstract
The article describes the relationships between the FGTS and real estate-backed securities. FGTS is the Brazilian government’s Severance Indemnity Fund: the employer deposits 8% of a worker’s salary into the fund and this is managed by the federal government. Since 2008, contracts undertaken with FGTS resources for the acquisition of real estatebacked securities have stimulated the real estate bonds and securities market in Brazil, constituting a mechanism that generates a minimum liquidity for its own operation. The investment logic of real estate funds is the logic of investment return and gain, without necessarily focusing on a housing and urban development public policy geared towards the universalization of rights. The dispute over FGTS resources and its role as a player in this market are discussed in the context of Brazil’s inclusion in financial capitalism.Downloads
