The president of CDL Cuiabá, Júnior Macagnam, points out that the numbers reinforce the need to expand access to financial education as a tool for prevention and rebalancing household accounts.

"Financial education is still one of the most appropriate tools to help families organize their budget and avoid excessive debt. But we also need to draw attention to a problem that has been getting worse: online gambling. This type of gambling has caused real financial and family disruption, leading people to compromise their income, take out loans and take on high debts," noted the business leader.
