Fate of Brazil’s economy to be discussed at FGV seminar
FGV researchers will discuss Brazil's economic performance during the 1st Economic Analysis Seminar of 2017.
Expectations for the Brazilian economy have improved in recent months, but indicators such as level of employment, interest rate, and GDP projections still concern specialists. Researchers from FGV’s Brazilian Institute of Economics (IBRE) will discuss the country’s economic performance during the 1st Economic Analysis Seminar of 2017, at FGV’s Cultural Center, on March 13. The experts will also make short- and medium-term analyses of the country’s economic situation.
The event will feature lectures by Regis Bonelli, Silvia Matos, José Júlio Senna, Salomão Quadros, and Aloisio Campelo, all IBRE researchers, presenting growth forecasts for the GDP and other macro-economic variables, in addition to analyses of inflation behavior, fiscal and monetary policies, expectations of economic agents, international economy, and the job market. Economists Armando Castelar, Samuel Pessôa, and Bráulio Borges will comment on the assessments made by the lecturers, touching upon aspects of the government’s economic policy.
According to Bonelli, coordinator of the Brazilian Institute of Economics Macro Bulletin and an Applied Economics researcher from IBRE, the country’s economic indicators will improve in 2017.
“We expect the economy to start growing again this year, initially at a slow pace, but reaching faster growth in the last quarter. Analyses point toward inflation converging to the target sought by the Central Bank and a GDP growth of 0.4%, with an annualized rate of about 2.5% at year end,” said Bonelli.
Those interested in participating can sign up for free via IBRE's website.
