Truist kicks off a major branch expansion
Charlotte-based Truist is embarking on a major expansion, with 100 new branches and 300 branch renovations planned over the next five years in "high-growth and economically vibrant markets" like Charlotte. Why it matters: With its latest growth, Truist, the 2019 merger of SunTrust and BB&T, aims to expand its offerings for affluent customers, grow its business in hot markets and complement its digital offerings. Zoom out: Aside from Charlotte, Truist is also adding branches in or renovating locations in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Miami, Orlando, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Between the lines: Truist is calling the new branches "insights-driven" — with modern designs and new technology. The branches will have "premier" advisers to assist with more complicated financial needs, Truist said in a statement, such as debt management. Zoom out: Banks continue to expand in fast-growing areas with retail locations, even as customers tend to rely on digital banking for everyday needs. JPMorgan Chase, for instance, recently opened a prominent location in SouthPark on the site where Harper's used to be on Fairview Road. "While (customers) enjoy using our digital banking, they place a lot of value in engaging with us in person in moments when they need expertise and advice to solve problems," Dontá Wilson, Truist's chief consumer and small business banking officer, tells Axios. Yes, but: The bank isn't yet saying where the branches will be in those markets. Truist relies on criteria from traffic to incomes to population growth to determine branch locations, Wilson said. That's why you see bank branches crop up in prime spots all over Charlotte, from the U.S. Bank in the former Dean & Deluca spot Uptown to a Fifth Third Bank branch in the former Babalu spot in Dilworth.

Brazil bolsters economy in response to U.S. tariffs
Aug. 20 (UPI) -- After Washington imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government launched the Sovereign Brazil Plan, a $5.5 billion emergency package combining subsidized credit and guarantees for the hardest-hit exporters. The initiative also includes tax deferrals, tax credits through 2026, expanded access to insurance against canceled orders and public purchases to absorb agricultural and industrial surpluses. The aid -- tied to preserving jobs -- is paired with a diplomatic push and efforts to open new markets to prevent production cuts and protect growth. "We cannot be scared, nervous or anxious when there is a crisis. A crisis is for creating new things," Lula said Aug. 13 as he presented the measures. According to Brazil's Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services, the 50% tariff imposed by the United States affects 35.9% of Brazilian exports to the U.S. market. That was equal to $14.5 billion out of $40.4 billion in 2024, hitting key goods such as coffee, beef and sugar. In the short term, the Sovereign Brazil Plan will serve as a liquidity and risk buffer for the hardest-hit companies, providing loans and guarantees to ease cash shortages and prevent production shutdowns. At the same time, public purchases will act as a "demand floor" for sectors facing perishability or sudden drops in orders -- including meat, fruit and seafood -- to stabilize producers' income and prevent ripple effects in transport, logistics and services. The measure also buys time for the external track of the plan: challenging the unilateral tariffs at the World Trade Organization and, foremost, diversifying markets. According to the Brazilian government, 397 new markets have opened in less than three years, expanding the customer base for "Made in Brazil" products. With partial access to the U.S. market cut off, Brazil has moved on two fronts: the BRICS/Global South and deeper trade agreements with China. According to Brazil's presidency, Lula and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke by phone Aug. 7 to discuss the economic situation and the unilateral tariffs that have hit both countries hardest. Lula and Modi agreed to strengthen bilateral trade and pledged to expand the Mercosur-India agreement to raise exchanges to more than $20 billion before 2030. They are preparing visits and business missions to open opportunities in trade, defense, energy and technology. With China -- its main partner -- Brazil relies on a strategic relationship backed by about $4.7 billion in Chinese investment in infrastructure, renewable energy and agribusiness, helping redirect exports and reduce dependence on the dollar. At the regional level, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa met Monday with Lula in Brasília, where they agreed to boost bilateral trade and coordinate responses to what they see as U.S. protectionism. Brazil also signaled it was willing to lower tariffs on some Ecuadorian products hit with an additional 15% U.S. duty, which affected exports of bananas, shrimp and flowers. In recent months, Brazil has revived its Mercosur agreement with the European Union, reached a deal with the European Free Trade Association and advanced negotiations with the Gulf states and Canada, along with new contacts with Vietnam. Ricardo Alban, president of the National Confederation of Industry, called the federal government's measures positive steps to mitigate the impact of the 50% U.S. tariff on Brazilian exporters. "We welcome these measures because they address many of the demands raised by industries, federations and industry associations, and also because they include two basic principles: continuing negotiations as a priority and adopting new measures if needed," Alban said. Brazil's National Confederation of Commerce in Goods, Services and Tourism said reducing risks in foreign trade requires diversifying markets, expanding trade agreements and strengthening economic diplomacy. The group also called for steps to contain production costs, rising prices and slowing economic activity, while preserving jobs and supporting solid growth in Brazil.
