A profound structural transformation is underway in the country's real estate credit, driven by the advance of the private sector via the capital market. According to data collected by InfoMoney, FIIs and CRIs are consistently expanding their participation in financing Brazilian real estate, replacing traditional sources of resources.
The numbers reveal that the share of the capital market in the real estate stock jumped from 15.8% in 2017 to an impressive 25.8% projected for 2026, according to InfoMoney. This movement demonstrates the efficiency of market instruments in allocating capital to the real economy, reducing dependence on state or targeted models.
In the opposite direction, the traditional savings account, the basis of the Brazilian Savings and Loan System (SBPE), lost its relevance sharply. As InfoMoney pointed out, SBPE's share plummeted from 46.1% in 2017 to 27.5% in 2026, pressured by savers' search for higher returns.
Meanwhile, bank funding increased from 15% in 2017 to 23.6% in 2026, while FGTS resources maintained stability, going from 23.1% to 23% in the same period, according to InfoMoney. The gradual replacement of compulsory sources by market mechanisms consolidates a route more aligned with free enterprise.
What changes for the investor
For those who operate on the stock exchange and allocate resources in the financial market, the transition consolidates the importance of private instruments such as FIIs and CRIs in credit origination. The loss of savings space signals the need to diversify corporate financing sources, opening new business avenues for the capital market without the distortion of state subsidies.
