There is a positive sentiment about Brazil, backed by recent data. Q2/23 saw a higher-than-expected growth rate of 3.6% (SAAR), including an increase in net investment. Unemployment has decreased, and exports are on the rise, primarily due to the expanding agribusiness sector. While there is consensus on a slowdown in the coming year, forecasts for 2023 and 2024 have been revised upwards. Inflation has been brought under control, and there is optimism for further interest rate cuts, potentially bringing the base rate below double digits. The fiscal concerns that worried investors at the beginning of the year have been addressed. Although not without flaws, these measures have sufficiently alleviated fears of a debt crisis and have led to improved credit ratings. There is also the possibility of a significant tax reform bill being passed still in 2023. The return of a pro-democracy, pro-environment, and pro-multilateralism administration has been warmly received by foreign investors. The problems remain, nonetheless. Potential GDP estimates are below 2%. Increased public spending and uncertainties surrounding new revenue measures could result in higher debt-to-GDP ratios, potentially nearing 75%. The administration's flexibility is constrained by an activist Congress that seeks quid-pro-quos in election spending. Furthermore, the administration’s tendency toward populist approaches and its support of discredited developmentalist ideas undermine its pro-investment agenda.
These concerns, among others, will take center stage at our “2023 Brazil: Economic and Political Outlook,” which will unite an esteemed panel of analysts to assess and share their insights on Brazil’s economic and political prospects. Join us for the upcoming installment of this informative and enlightening biannual program. |

8:30 to 10:30 a.m. (Eastern Time - U.S. and Canada)
|
|
The Brazilian electricity sector has been in the spotlight over recent years as Brazil strives to play a leading role in energy transition worldwide. The renewable industry has continuously expanded over the years through private investment, and sustainable solutions are being structured in light of Paris Agreement objectives, including green fuels, power storage, hydrogen, and offshore wind power projects. At the same time, the Federal Government of Brazil is promoting policies toward a green transformation of the Brazilian industrial sector, where the wide availability of renewable energy sources could play an important role in attracting international investment to the local manufacturing industry, including through green financing. Considering this scenario, we invite you to discuss Brazil’s market investment trends and opportunities in the energy sector, taking into account the influence of upcoming legislative changes under the Lula administration. We will also discuss trends in the ways in which savvy sponsors are structuring their investments in Brazil, as well as the various financing structures available to market participants. |
