Brazil new political model ?

... hard to govern with the Parliament and Senate deciding

on their own, especially based on personal political interests

Bolsonaro, Brazil savior

or

fake southern Trump ?

Lula, swindler or victim ?

Note that a lot of parties leaders

from the whole political spectrum

also in jail due to “Lava jato”

Brazil recovering ?

Big brother taking advantage of EU divisions and Mercosur mess

Brazil reforms on their way despite lack of governance due to Constitution weaknesses

and President lack of preparation : Pensions almost done ; Taxes with a consensus ;

Administration requirements simplified ...

2 main candidate objectives far from going on : violence control and anti-corruption fight

International image at a low. Main problem today : UE recognition and Amazon fires

But 2019 PIB growth estimate at +0.4% with a population increase of +0.8% !

But important international investments announced : Nestlé, VW, Mercedes …

and France has been the main investor in Brazil during first semester of 2019

Argentina back to old politics ?

Not sure,

Alberto Fernández

is not Cristina Kirhner,

and seems moderate

Macri did not live up to his ambitions and of what was expected

And his last-minute movements to try to win October elections

can worsen the economic situation

Brazil Political & Economical Environment

Threats and opportunities • The economy is very slowly emerging from a three-year recession. Activity

ended 2018 with an 1.1% increase, and will end 2019 with a lesser value

(0.4% ?).

• The Trade Agreement between Mercosur and EU just signed, even though

only at its first stage of approval and effectiveness gives a positive sign. It

foresees an increase of agricultural exports from Mercosur to Europe

(specially sugar and meat) and of industrial imports from Europe (automobile

sector, wine and other transformed foodstuff …).

• The pension reform so necessary as a first step for recovery is coming up.

• The fiscal reform (asked for during the last 25 years) although on the political

programs of all Presidential candidates in 2018 has much opposition from a

majority of states (since it would limit their autonomy) but is on the way to

reach a consensus since there is no more money available.
