A Glance Back and a Hard Look Forward- A combined presentation by Oxford Economics and Control Risks

21 October 2015

Join us for a networking breakfast followed by a frank discussion on the next three years in Brazil  

 

After one year into Dilma’s second mandate characterized by recession and a painful but necessary fiscal adjustment, has Brazil turned the corner? Will the government adopt more business friendly policies over the next three years, and if so are they likely to be across the board or specific to certain industries? What are the key business risks going forward, and how can these risks effectively be managed? And where are we likely to find the most promising opportunities for investors?
