2014 Brazil Economic Conference
On Friday October 10, the Brazil Institute is proud to co-host with the Brazil American Chamber of Commerce and the Brazil-US Business Council the annual economic conference
Overview
Each year the Brazil Economic Conference brings together leading experts and industry leaders to discuss the prospects and what the future has in store for the growing economy.
The 2014 Brazil Economic Conference will address economic developments, including new trends and sectors that will continue to drive Brazil as an attractive market for foreign investment. We will also engage in a debate about the current political landscape in the country and the challenges that will face the next president, to be elected in October. The roster of speakers for this annual milestone, organized to coincide with the fall meetings of the World Bank/IMF, is consistently comprised of such notable individuals as the Finance Minister of Brazil, President of the Central Bank, Brazilian and US Ambassadors, and CEOs and Presidents of various global corporations. Over 250 leaders from the Brazilian-American business community are expected to attend, including top executives from the public and private sectors, fund managers, financial analysts, members of the press and representatives of the academic and government spheres.
