Vigia Pix

What it is

Vigia Pix follows the money of Brazil's Pix parliamentary amendments: who sent it, where it went, how much has already left the federal budget and what is still unknown. In plain language, always with the official source.

Pix amendments are federal budget funds that deputies and senators send to states and cities through a special transfer. Unlike an agreement-based transfer, there is no specific agreement between the federal government and the city: the local government spends the money according to its work plan.

The stages of the money

1. Planned: the legislator sends the amendment, and the action plan records the amount and the purpose.
2. Committed: the federal government issues the commitment, which reserves the amount. The money has not been sent yet.
3. Sent: the bank order sends the money to the city or state government.
4. Declared use: the city declares in its management reports what it did with the money. It is a declaration, not proof of delivery.

Vigia Pix can be searched by legislator, by city or state and by recipient, and its methodology is public.
