Breakfast Seminar Brazil: Economic and Political Outlook
January 24, 2017 @ 8:00 am - 10:30 pm
2017 promises to be a year of volatility around the globe, not least in Brazil. In the final year of the Temer administration, the main policy challenge will be the deepening of fiscal adjustment, with attempts to pass the social security reform bill, now in Congress. Meanwhile, growth lags, unemployment rises, and real incomes continue to drop. It is a complex scenario for macroeconomic management, and for navigating the political effects of the lingering Lava Jato investigations. This forms the background for our upcoming panel, where an outstanding team of speakers will help us situate and understand the likely short-term prospects.
