Paulo Roberto de Almeide - Brasil: intovertido e insular
‘Too Introverted’: Economist Paulo Roberto de Almeida on Brazil
By: Meredith Crawford
Yale Communication, October 22, 2015
When Standard & Poors downgraded Brazil’s bonds to junk grade last month, the immediate cause was the country’s struggling economy and growing deficit. But the roots of the crisis, economist Paulo Roberto de Almeida told students at Yale School of Management on October 13, lie in Brazil’s major structural problems, including imbalanced public finance, inadequate savings and investment, high tax burdens, and low productivity.
The Latino Leadership Association hosted the talk by Almeida, deputy consul general of Brazil in Hartford and professor of political economy at University Center of Brasília, at Yale SOM. Almeida discussed Brazil’s current fiscal crisis in a talk titled “How Brazil was Downgraded: Economic Challenges and Political Turmoil.”
Among Brazil’s longstanding problems, Almeida said, is an insular approach to trade that prevents it from playing a major role in the world economy.
“Brazil is too introverted,” Almeida said. “The coefficient of opening [in] the Brazilian economy is less than 20% compared to the world average of more than 40%—China [is] 60%.”
