Flávio Bolsonaro Expands Economic Team With Seven Technocrats

The new specialists will convert the campaign’s macroeconomic diagnosis into concrete policy proposals through industry engagement under electoral rules.

Overview

  • The campaign formalized seven new economic advisers on Friday to join coordinators Daniella Marques and Adolfo Sachsida in drafting the plan of government.
  • The additions include academics and market practitioners with PhDs and senior public-sector experience, such as former Ipea officials, ex-Ministry secretaries and former Caixa executives.
  • The group is charged with turning the campaign’s nine-axis program, 'Para o Brasil Vencer o Atraso,' into technical proposals and presenting them to industry representatives and specialists for input.
  • Campaign leaders said the team will focus on concrete measures to address high interest rates, rising public indebtedness and strained public accounts as central economic challenges.
  • Recruiting senior technocrats is a common tactic to signal policy competence and the new hires could shape investor and business expectations as the campaign develops detailed fiscal and monetary proposals.
