In an exclusive interview with CNN the Trump government special envoy to Latin America, Maurício Claver-Carone, quoted the INSS scandal as an example of corruption case that impairs the investor’s confidence in Brazil.
“Corruption has greatly impacted the actions of international investors in Brazil, obviously with Odebrecht, Lava-Jato, and now there are conversations about a new scandal with social security,” said Claver-Carone, adding that the problem of corruption persists in Brazil even after advances in the theme over the years.
For him, corruption is one of the “three CS” that represent the main challenges faced by Brazil today; The other two, according to the American, are the exchange rate and the crime.
“If you ask any investor what is the main reason why he is not investing in Brazil now, he will mention the exchange rate risk,” said Claver-Carone, arguing that the government is the only agent who can solve the problem, acting with fiscal responsibility.
Already on crime, the Trump government envoy called the situation of “epidemic” compared the severity of the problem of criminal organizations in Brazil to Mexico.
Maurício Claver-Carone spoke about the “three CS” in Brazil during a New York Group event on Monday (12), and in an interview with CNN On Tuesday (13), he added another “C” to the list: constructive. “I didn’t want to make these comments as an attack, but as something constructive, in the sense of what Brazil could do to attract more investments,” he said.
