Context of the IV Forum
Economic freedom and representative democracy have suffered a succession of hard blows from the COVID-19 pandemic, control and stimulus measures, the difficulty of recovering all links in the production chains and more recently by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, whose economic and geopolitical effects were felt around the world.
In this context, the VI Forum seeks to reflect on the risks, opportunities and alternatives that exist for Brazil and Latin American countries in the current context to move towards more productive, inclusive, open, innovative societies under the aegis of the rule of law and monetary and fiscal stability.
