Despite a concerted effort that
has vaccinated 40% of the population since the start of 2021, Brazil is
still struggling to put COVID-19 infections on a solid downward path.
Political polarization is increasing, and the 2022 presidential
elections could see a repeat of 2018, only this time with Lula the
favorite to win over Bolsonaro.
The economy is rebounding,
yet expectations among businesses remain depressed, as does CAPEX.
Unemployment remains at near record highs, with a worrying downward
shift in labor force participation. Nevertheless, inflation has risen,
propelled initially by supply shocks (food, oil, electricity and other
prices) and increased risk aversion that has called a large depreciation
of the Real. These shocks and worsening expectations prompted the
Central Bank of Brazil to “normalize” its policy stance, withdrawing
exceptional accommodation. The SELIC policy rate is up 225bp this year
to July and likely will gain another 225bp to 6.50% by year-end.
Meanwhile, the fiscal
accounts are recovering at a good pace from the historic deficit of
2020, but doubts remain about sustainability due to the further
extension of fiscal benefits. The overall accounts will improve in 2021,
but projections by the Senate’s Budget Office (IFI) forecast deficits
until 2024 and a gross government debt-to-GDP approaching 90%. Higher
interest rates and lower growth may once again worsen the debt
trajectory. For investors, the possibility of increased volatility as
the elections draw near is a concern.
The Chamber brings
together a notable group of economists and political scientists to
discuss these themes in our “Brazil: Midyear Economic and Political
Outlook.” Please join us for this timely discussion.

The reality of aging and
retirement is more diverse, complex, and hopeful than initial forays
would suggest, greatly affecting how wealth management and healthcare
services cater to adults aged 50+. The Chamber brings together experts
for a webinar on “How Technology and Longevity are Revolutionizing
Healthcare,” to focus on themes of aging, community, and reinvention for
this age group, including:
- The need for a new narrative that builds and expands upon the New Life Curve;
- The value of a purpose-based framework to help adults 50+ navigate this phase of life;
- Mindful use of technology that enables whole person datasets;
- A Humana case study
demonstrating the potential of precision-communication solutions for
increasing star ratings and CAHPS scores.
Please join us for this unique and informative discussion.
