The Brazilian economy exceeded expectations last year with almost a 3% expansion. However, the future outlook for 2024 is uncertain due to the sources of growth from the previous year not being expected to perform in the same manner. There is ongoing debate within Lula’s administration regarding public spending and government oversight in Petrobras, which has become a topic of interest in evaluating Latin America’s largest economy from an investment perspective. This episode delves into recent government decisions and future prospects.
