Capital markets hit a record — and real estate backing shrinks
What a record half-year in volume means when CRIs and debentures are down.
The first half of 2026 was the largest in the history of Brazilian capital markets: BRL 361.8 billion in offerings, up 9.8% from the same period in 2025, across 1,513 transactions. Taken alone, the figure suggests abundant capital.
The composition tells another story. Debentures fell 12.1%, Real Estate Receivables Certificates dropped 15.8% and Agribusiness Receivables Certificates fell 50.4%. What drove the record were hybrid funds — FIIs grew 103.9% and Fiagros 288.3% — and FIDCs, with BRL 53.1 billion.
For issuers, the practical reading is that capital exists, but it has changed doors. The instrument that financed construction over the last decade lost room to vehicles that purchase receivables already originated.
