Economy becomes one of the focuses in the final stretch of the campaign

There are four days to go before the elections, and the movement between businessmen and financial market managers, now called upon to give full attention to the political moment, is expressive.

The voting intention polls released this week point to former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) as first place in the election. At dinner last Tuesday night (28), businessmen met with the PT candidate in a mild climate, according to CNN Brasil analysts.

The former president listened more than he spoke, while the 137 businessmen invited made requests in the name of legal certainty and the business environment.

On the side of the candidate for reelection Jair Bolsonaro (PL), who was second in the presidential polls, the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, gave an interview to the Flow Podcast in which he celebrated the performance of Brazilian activity. Also on Tuesday, the IBGE released the preview of the country’s official inflation, the IPCA-15, which brought greater than expected deflation.

With a drop of 0.37%, analysts from financial consulting companies understand the result with good eyes, as the declines seen in the categories of non-tradables, durable goods and beef indicate that there is already an impact from the increase in the Selic rate on prices.

The reading is that, in addition to the government measures, the fall is already more structural.

Presented by Thais Herédia and Priscila Yazbek, CNN Money presents a balance of news issues that influence markets, finances and the direction of society and power dynamics in Brazil and worldwide.
