Brazil Briefing: An Update on Reforms and the Investment Environment 

Join the conversation: #CouncilBR  | @ASCOA

After two years of economic downturn, the Brazilian economy is starting to show important signs of recovery as numbers show 1 percent GDP growth, inflation has dropped considerably, and companies are tapping into capital markets again. However, recent developments within the Car Wash Operation have caused gridlock in the government, raising uncertainty among investors. With the upcoming presidential election and as Congress looks to pass important reforms, all eyes are on Brazil.

Please join AS/COA for a morning update on the economic outlook for the country in 2017 and beyond, as well as the political situation in Brazil vis-à-vis the pending critical reforms and the presidential elections for 2018.
