The Narrow Path for Brazil

Fernando Cardim de Carvalho

Economics Policy Note Archive from Levy Economics Institute

Abstract: Brazil is mired in a joint economic and political crisis, and the way out is unclear. In 2015 the country experienced a steep contraction of output alongside elevated inflation, all while the fallout from a series of corruption scandals left the policymaking apparatus paralyzed. Looking ahead, implementing a policy strategy that has any hope of addressing the Brazilian economy's multilayered problems would make serious demands on a political system that is most likely unable to bear it.
