Economy Minister Paulo Guedes said in New York, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, that one of the consequences of the war could be global inflationary pressures on food, grains, fertilizers and energy.
He said that the world economy is going through a slowdown, that the war can worsen, but that Brazil is “out of tune”, as it is growing. “Brazil is in the other direction,” said the minister, for whom the country is in transition from an economy guided by the state to one managed by the market.
“By the end of the year, we will have US$ 200 billion in investment commitments, in contracts already signed for private investments”, he said. He compared investments in ports, highways and the electricity sector to “two Marshall Plans” (the one that rebuilt Europe after the Second World War).
The information is from the newspaper. The State of São Paulo.
