Title Higher savings and investment will drive growth
 
Creator Pessôa, Samuel
Monteiro, Solange
 
Description DURING THE INTENSE ELECTORAL DEBATE discussions on how to revive the Brazilian economy, promoted by IBRE, resonated in local and international media. A leading voice was Samuel Pessôa, IBRE associate researcher, physicist, and holder of a PhD in economics from the University of São Paulo, who was economic advisor to presidential runner-up Senator Aécio Neves. In this interview, Pessôa reflects on economic management in the early stages of Dilma Rousseff’s second term as president. He believes that finance minister Joaquim Levy has managed to convince society of the need for fiscal adjustment. However, he points out that warding off threats to the sustainability of public finance has become more important, and argues that fiscal adjustment will succeed only when Brazil addresses the external current account deficit and begins to save more.
