Economist Conferences 750 Third Avenue New York, NY 10017 Brazil in 2022 – November 3-4, 2011 – São Paulo Ordem e Progresso? SPEAKER BRIEF – MARCOS FERNANDES DA SILVA ABOUT THE EVENT: Brazil is enjoying steady growth and prestige status on the global stage. This is not only fuelling a strong sense of confidence and optimism among Brazilians but is managing to reduce, albeit modestly, one of the world’s highest rates of inequality. Adding to the energy is that the nation is playing host to the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016. Although these successes are certainly worth celebrating, Brazil still faces obstacles that hinder economic and social progress: onerous regulations, a creaking infrastructure and a huge informal sector that limits productivity -- not to mention a large dependence on revenue from commodity exports which may wreak economic havoc should global appetite for these decrease. And much more work remains to be done in order to reduce still-staggering wealth disparities and meet the education, healthcare and living needs of all Brazilians. This year's Brazil Summit will focus on the country's long-term ambitions as it enters the final decade before the bicentennial of its independence in 2022. Together with top leaders from business and government, from both inside and outside Brazil, Economist Conferences will look ahead to whether Brazil a decade from now will have succeeded in tackling some of the most significant barriers to improved living standards and lasting progress for all Brazilian society. Will the country take on the interest groups who benefit from the status quo? Or will Brazil merely tinker around the edges and miss its chance to become a significant and lasting economic and political leader in the twenty-first century?
