Lithium production in the Jequitinhonha Valley reached a record 944,000 tonnes in 2024, almost 4x higher than in 2023, according to Brazil’s National Mining Agency. This leap is being driven by Sigma Lithium’s operations, setting a new benchmark in scale, sustainability, and shared value.   The numbers show the magnitude of this transformation: – In Araçuaí, formal industrial employment more than doubled since 2020 – In Itinga, mining jobs grew 100.9% in a single year – Investments in the region now exceed R$ 7 billion   Behind these results is a broader social shift. Through our Homecoming Employment Program (Volta ao Lar), professionals who once had to leave the Valley to study or work are now returning to build their future where they were born. This movement is strengthening local communities, expanding opportunities, and anchoring sustainable development in the region.   Sigma Lithium demonstrates that responsible, large-scale mining can provide sustainable lithium for the global energy transition while creating long-term prosperity in the Jequitinhonha Valley. https://lnkd.in/dDVwajF2

Brazil’s central bank held its interest rate steady at a nearly two-decade high, signaling there’s no change in sight to the current level of borrowing costs as policymakers keep their guard up against inflation risks. Board members led by Gabriel Galipolo kept the benchmark Selic at 15% for the second straight meeting late on Wednesday, as expected by all economists in a Bloomberg survey. In an accompanying statement, they wrote that the local labor market is showing strength, current inflation levels are above target and future consumer price expectations are unanchored. “The Committee will remain vigilant, evaluating whether maintaining the interest rate at its current level for a very prolonged period will be enough to ensure the convergence of inflation to the target,” policymakers wrote. It “emphasizes that future monetary policy steps can be adjusted and that it will not hesitate to resume the rate hiking cycle if appropriate.” Brazil central bankers are staying on the defensive as consumer price forecasts in Latin America’s largest economy remain above the 3% target through 2028. While annual inflation slowed for the second straight month in August, much of the decline was due to drops in volatile components like electricity and food, rather than broad improvement. Record-low unemployment and public spending are also underpinning demand, challenging restrictive monetary policy.
