Abstract: This paper focuses on the recent development of the Brazilian financial system and its institutions. It begins by presenting an overview of the credit market in the post-Real Plan period. After stabilization, financial institutions had to be completely reformed. A very conservative and successful regulatory framework was created to avoid the permanent instability of the past. The paper also analyses the impact of the rapid credit growth after 2004 and the role of state-owned banks in compensating for the impact of the international crisis of 2008. It is important to note that the process of formulation and implementation of the financial market reforms was not the result of prior strategic planning, but a response based on the past experience of internal and external crises and the political opportunities created after 1994.
