The Business Cooperation Committee (CCE) was established in 1990, with the aim of discussing the implications for Brazil of the changes in the international economy.

CCE gathers representatives of the private sector in order to, through FGV’s World Economic Center (CEM), stimulate studies of different issues related to the competitive integration of Brazil, as an emerging power in a dynamic and challenging external environment, making use of FGV’s excellence as a think tank. Via lectures and projects, CEM discusses essential matters such as international trade, financial and capital flows, evolution of country risk, innovation and technological progress.
