The G20 Bioeconomy Initiative meeting in Manaus focused on sustainable solutions for economic development while preserving forests, with an emphasis on the Amazon and the involvement of local communities. Discussions aim to create a framework that includes indigenous perspectives. Commitment from developed countries is crucial for preserving tropical forests. The Amazon's role in global climate balance was highlighted, emphasizing the need to align global environmental agendas with local realities for sustainable development.

Today, I attended a lecture by Mr. Jan-Gustav Strandenaes at the SDG Academy and wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming UN #HLPF2024 side event organized by #INTOSAI, which you can participate in online. Mr. Strandenaes emphasized that strong and active governance structures are essential for addressing climate, environmental, and sustainability issues. This is precisely where Supreme Audit Institutions (#SAIs) play a crucial role in holding governments accountable, as exemplified by initiatives like #Climatescanner. Transparency and accountability are key, and this is also the core message of #SAI20: SAIs matter and are central to driving change!

Thanks to the organisers of the Nature-Based Solutions Initiative (more about that soon!), I am back to the UK, joining the London Climate Action Week (LCAW) this week. We, from WRI Brasil, together with The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), are organising an event this Thursday that will focus on how Brazil could shape a new development model for the Amazon, giving special relevance to an inclusive bioeconomy, local and traditional knowledge, environmental services provided by the biome while also fostering innovation and its creative economy. We will also discuss what financial mechanisms are needed, the opportunities and the challenges that exist in the country and in the world. Brazil has now a commitment to zeroing deforestation until 2030, scientists recommend that we not only stop deforestation, but also restore the biome, in particular the Arc of Deforestation. It’s time to change course and generate a new future for this precious megadiverse forest and its incredible people. I am very grateful having in this event with me Joana Setzer, from LSE; Alexandria Reid, from Global Witness; and Ana Yang, from Chatham House. 📅 Date: Thursday 27 June, 10:00-11:30 (GMT+1) 📍 Location: London School of Economics (LSE) 🔗 Register now: https://bit.ly/LCAWamazon Pls join us for a pivotal discussion on Amazon's future! 🌎🌿 #ClimateAction #LCAW #Amazonforest #bioeconomy

Are we underestimating the relevance of LATAM on ESG topics? Brazil is a great example of how countries are bringing more data to ESG: 1️⃣ Support agtech-start ups and boost blockchain technology to efficiently process data and increase transparency of supply chains 2️⃣ Leverage AI for data-based decision making on-farm to optimize input use and save resources 3️⃣ Scale up use of drones in regions with challenging infrastructure to ensure data collection in remote regions #digitalagriculture #esg #regenerativeagriculture Check the article https://lnkd.in/dhbQtC4R

BRAZIL IS IMPROVING BUT THE ROAD IS STILL LONG Brazil was among the most unequal countries in Latin America in 2022, based on the Gini index, which measures the degree of inequality in the income distribution of a territory. Data gathered by Statista points to a Brazilian coefficient of 52.9, although there are small variations between sources. The least unequal country was the Dominican Republic (38.5), which registered a lower coefficient than Uruguay and Chile, for example, two of the highest HDIs in the region. The Gini coefficient represents the deviation of income distribution among individuals in a given country in relation to a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality, while 100 would be the highest possible degree of inequality. Often, values ​​are presented from 0 to 1, so Brazil would have an index of 0.529. Although it does not capture the average wealth of individuals in a country or the level of development, like GDP per capita or HDI, it is a very interesting indicator for evaluating distributional issues that constantly afflict developing countries. In 2022, Brazil recorded the lowest result in the Gini coefficient since 2012, but the IBGE announced, also in 2022, that the 1% of the richest Brazilians earned an average monthly income 32.5 times greater than the income of the richest half. poor population of the country. In 2023, the real average monthly household income per capita — that is, the average income of a household divided by the people who live there — of the richest 1% was R$20,664, an increase of 13.2% in relation to the value observed in 2022 (R$ 18,257). The average monthly income of the poorest 40% was, on average, R$527 last year. The value represents an increase of 12.6% compared to the number recorded in 2022 (R$468). This discrepancy is the result of a greater increase in income among the highest paid workers compared to those at the bottom of the market. In this movement, attention is drawn to the increase in income among workers with completed higher education, when considering the level of education, and among employers, when the reference is the position in the occupation. The average income of the richest 1% not only grew over that of the poorest but was also higher than the national average — in Brazil, the average income rose 11.5% between 2022 and 2023, the highest value in the historical series of research. According to IBGE (PNAD 2023), Brazil had 215.6 million inhabitants. Of these, 140 million had some type of income. This represents 64.9% of the population, the highest proportion recorded by the survey started in 2012. While Latin America advances in terms of wealth production, the region still faces significant challenges to the general well-being of the population in various spheres, harming the so-called "human development", which goes beyond economic growth.

“Brazil is back” was the opening and closing sentence of Brazil presentation of their Voluntary National Review on SDGs at HLPF 2024. It was amazing to hear the determination and some kind of relief or even freedom in the voice of the presenter who could say that Brazil is again living the values anchored in the Agenda 2030. I hope that the final version do the tax reform will reflect that too. #hlpf #sustainability #brazil

The Central Bank of Brazil's market expectations for various economic indicators are meticulously crafted, drawing on extensive research conducted in collaboration with reputable financial institutions and consultancies. The data, presented in tables, showcases the median projections for different time horizons, the number of respondents, and recent trends, ensuring a comprehensive and reliable overview. Projections indicate a steady course, with inflation expectations (IPCA) of around 3.7% for 2024, 3.5% for 2025, and 3.5% for 2026 and 2027. GDP growth is projected at approximately 2% per year in the period. The exchange rate remains stable at around R$5.00-5.10 per dollar. The Selic rate, the main monetary policy instrument, is expected at 9.75% in 2024, with an expectation of falling to 9% in 2025 and 8.63% in 2026. Projections for the IGP-M price indices and monitored prices show volatility, with the IGP-M projected at 2.34% in 2024 and 3.78% in 2025. The current account deficit is around US$40 billion in the coming years, with trade surpluses partially offsetting deficits in services and income. Direct investment in the country is projected at US$69.5 billion in 2024 and US$80 billion in 2026 and 2027. These projections, if realized, could have significant implications for the Brazilian economy, such as increased inflation or improved trade balance. Gross public debt is expected to reach 63.9% of GDP in 2024 and 69.9% in 2027. The primary result is a deficit, at -0.64% of GDP in 2024, with an improvement to -0.2% in 2027. The nominal result should be -6.8% of GDP in 2024 and -5.5% in 2027. Given these projections, policymakers will likely need to consider measures to reduce the deficit and manage the public debt, such as fiscal consolidation or debt restructuring. Questions: 1) What were the main determinants of inflation and economic growth projections in recent years, and how did they evolve? 👀 2) What will be the main challenges for conducting economic policy in the coming years, considering the projections and objectives of price stability and sustainable growth? 👀 💡 Brazilian Central Bank.
