The future Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad (PT), said this Wednesday (28) that President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) will “re-evaluate” Brazil’s entry process into the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
“We already have an interface with the OECD, which is not small, but the process for Brazil’s entry into the OECD will be defined by the government and not by the Treasury. President Lula has great experience of two governments on this subject and will certainly revisit this in January”, replied Haddad, at the Cultural Center of Banco do Brasil (CCBB), headquarters of the transitional government.
One current considers that the country has already obtained the main gains so far in adhering to the instruments and standards of the Paris-based institution and that, from now on, being aligned with other requirements would only be harmful to Brazil in multilateral forums.
Haddad also minimized any discomfort with the election of the former president of the Central Bank in the Temer government, Ilan Goldfajn, for the presidency of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), at the end of November.
In November, before Goldfajn’s election, the national president of the PT, deputy Gleisi Hoffmann, even stated that it would be “in good form” for the IDB to postpone the choice of its new president, given the ongoing change of government in Brazil.
“I get along very well both with the IDB and with Ilan, who as soon as he was elected called us to make himself available to the new government. There is not the slightest chance that we will have problems with the BID”, he added.
