Established in 1951, the mission of FGV’s Brazilian Institute of Economics (IBRE) is to research, analyze, produce and disseminate first-rate macroeconomic statistics and applied economic studies to support public policies and private initiatives within Brazil’s economy, ultimately promoting economic development and social well-being across the country.

The Institute is responsible for developing important national economic statistics, such as Price Indexes and Economic Surveys, and is an important reference for scholars, managers and analysts of the Brazilian economy from the public and private sectors.
