The objective of this paper was to highlight the financing positions of the state of Minas Gerais from 2008 to 2018. According to Minsky's Financial Fragility Hypothesis, the way in which future flows of expected revenues are forecasted and realized, as opposed to expenses, reveals as a result financial positions of sufficiency, moderate restriction or complete insufficiency, named by hedge, speculative and ponzi, respectively. Studies on HFF are also adaptable to test the fragility of public finances, that is, the ability of a government to sustain its debts and other expenses. The database was the Budget Balance. Ponzi financing position was determined for the state in 2011-2017, speculative for 2008-2010 and 2018. It is considered relevant to use the Financial Fragility Hypothesis studies when applied to the public sector, and may be an instrument complementary analysis on the financial fragility of government entities, thus reinforcing its theoretical and empirical content.
