Strategies for Growth: The Changing Role of the State
The second Brazilian edition of the conference is the result of a successful first round in 2016 when prominent academics, business leaders and civil society were gathered to discuss the strategies for economic growth in the context of fiscal and structural reform policy, monetary and banking issues, and institutional legitimacy and transparency.
This year, participants will discuss what should be the role of the State given the political and economic changes experienced in Brazil and globally. The conference is centered around four thematic issues:
1. Productivity and competitiveness
2. Corruption and transparency in Brazil in a global perspective
3. New technologies and digital economy
4. Fiscal and monetary challenges
