Brazil's government aims to save more than 1 trillion reals ($270 billion) in 10 years for public coffers with a pension reform bill delivered to Congress on Wednesday, according to an Economy Ministry presentation.
A proposed constitutional amendment that President Jair Bolsonaro presented to congressional leadership would save 1.072 trillion reals in a decade.
Proposed changes to military pensions, which the government pledged to deliver within 30 days, would bring savings to 1.165 trillion reals in 10 years.
