- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Caixa Econômica Federal reported a recurring net profit of R$ 3.9 billion for the second quarter, representing a 5.9 percent increase compared to the same period in 2025. The state owned bank attributed the growth to an expansion of its credit portfolio, which reached approximately R$ 1.4 trillion to R$ 1.45 trillion, an 11.9 percent increase over the last 12 months. Other contributing factors included funding and service provision revenues.
The bank's real estate portfolio grew to R$ 1.01 trillion, a 15 percent increase. Other portfolios included commercial credit at R$ 270.4 billion, infrastructure at R$ 110.5 billion, and agribusiness at R$ 62.3 billion. However, the general delinquency rate for payments overdue by more than 90 days rose by 0.98 percentage points to 3.64 percent. The agribusiness segment saw a particularly sharp increase in delinquency, rising 13.72 percentage points to 20.74 percent.
Provisions for doubtful debts jumped 97.6 percent to R$ 7 billion. One center leaning source noted that this increase was partly due to a change in Central Bank rules requiring banks to provision for expected losses rather than only realized ones. Additionally, the Basel Index declined to 15.5 percent from 16 percent in the second quarter of 2025. The return on equity (ROE) fell by 2.70 percentage points to 9.16 percent.
