Brazil’s Biggest Economic Risk Is Complacency
This year can be a decisive one for Brazil’s transition to a more robust and sustainable growth path – but only if the government commits to fiscal and structural reform.

WASHINGTON, DC – Brazil’s economy has endured a difficult few years: after a deep recession in 2015-2016, GDP grew by just over 1% annually in 2017-2019. But things are finally looking up, with the International Monetary Fund forecasting a 2.2-2.3% growth in 2020-21. The challenge now is to convert this cyclical recovery into a robust long-term expansion.
