Decision 2018: Updating Scenarios and Policy Implications

 Registration is closed for this event

 

 

 

Join us for a networking breakfast followed by a talk on the upcoming elections in Brazil.

 

 

Brazil heads to the ballot box on 7 October against a backdrop of high political and economic uncertainty. At the briefing, Verisk Maplecroft will update the baseline forecast delivered in July, including predictive scenarios and implications for the presidential race. The event will focus on key congressional races, how future dynamics in Brasilia may steer the course of structural reforms and how these may impact other key risk issues such as political tensions, social unrest, and economic uncertainty in 2019. Underpinned by the company’s mixed-methods approach, the presentation will include data-driven models and expert qualitative analysis to help investors evaluate their risk exposure during one of the most volatile political moments for Brazil’s contemporary democratic history.
