Brazil & the Global Crossroads: Navigating Latin America's Future in a Shifting Geo-Political Landscape

Join us on April 15th 2025 at 2:00 pm (London) and 10:00 am (Brasilia) for a special online conversation, moderated by Simon Davies, Chair of the Financial Services Committee at the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom, with a panel of highly respected voices providing their insights into current and future Brazilian economics and finance.  

As the global balance of power continues to evolve, so too does the landscape in which Brazil must navigate its economic future. With rising geopolitical tensions, increasing trade fragmentation, and the resurgence of protectionist policies, the world's economic order is being redrawn, and Brazil finds itself at a pivotal intersection. The country’s position as a leading voice within the BRICS bloc further adds to its strategic importance, offering both influence and responsibility as emerging markets seek greater weight in global decision-making.

Against this backdrop, understanding the interplay between Brazil’s domestic economy and international developments is more critical than ever. 

We’re privileged to welcome two leading economists to guide us through this complex terrain: Luis Fernando Lopes, Partner, Chief Economist and Strategist at Patria Investments in London and Fernando Honorato Barbosa, Chief Economist at Banco Bradesco in Sao Paulo. Together, they will explore the outlook for Brazil’s economy, the impact of shifting global alliances, including the role of BRICS in challenging traditional power structures, and the broader implications for Latin America as a whole. 

This promises to be a timely, insightful conversation on where Brazil stands today, and where it may be headed tomorrow.
