Panorama Brasil 2018

Location: Sao Paulo, Brasil Date: April 26th

Overview

Panorama Brasil

At a series of exclusive briefings, our  Brazil team will launch special reports tackling the economic problems that the country must face to grow again in a sustainable manner - generating income, employment, and lower social inequality.

Ana Carla Abrão (Oliver Wyman), Marcos Lisboa (Insper) and Vinicius Carrasco (PUC-Rio) are launching the first article of the Panorama Brasil series on April 26th to contribute to the agenda for structural reforms in Brazil.

Panorama Brasil is a collection of papers that aim to identify and diagnose the main economic issues of the Brazilian outlook, which are fundamental to the economic and social development of the country. The papers translate complex themes into a simple language, ready to be brought to the center of the debate.

Oliver Wyman will publish the series as an independent and unbiased project, without outside sponsorship. Each report will be launched at roundtables with leading academics and experts on the topics to foster the discussion and engagement. The events will take place at Insper throughout this year, covering issues such as state reform, fiscal balance, infrastructure, telecommunications, credit market, state-own banks, education, among others.

On the first event, the organizers will introduce the initiative, present its objectives, the upcoming work, as well as discuss the results of the first paper: “Brazil: income and productivity in the last two decades”.

This event will be open for specialized press and guests only.
