A high security investiture after narrowly re-election and in a tense and difficult climate for Dilma Rousseff. A second term for the former guerrilla 67, "heir" of Lula Da Silva, there are four years old, had benefited greatly advanced the Workers Party in power for twelve years. But this time, it is almost that Dilma Rousseff is not re-elected in a country the economy and at half eaten by a wide corruption scandal.
So it is, for Gilberto Braga economist, not really a blank check that received the president. "The message of the polls, he said, is that the government must maintain its social programs, get people out of poverty and improve their quality of life, but it takes the same time to focus on how to find resources for these programs, and thus create the conditions that will stimulate investment, will control inflation and manage public money. "
If the unemployment rate continues to decline since 2010, reaching its lowest at 4.5% historical inflation, however, is bullish since 2013. Consumer prices rose 6.5% in August This directly affects the purchasing power of the middle classes. Finally, growth is the weak point of the balance sheet. After closing 2014 to negative growth, 2015 will be the fifth year of slow growth with a forecast of 0.5%.
The economy and social should therefore still be at the heart of the mandate of Rousseff. So far it has benefited from the social programs implemented by his predecessor, who have forty million Brazilians out of poverty and many have feared losing.
In addition, other challenges await the Brazilian President, like cleaning in the public oil giant Petrobras, immersed in a corruption scandal that splashes politicians of the party workers and allied parties. Although none of them has been prosecuted for the moment. The challenge is threefold: to prevent the oil giant - the first company in the country - sees its downgraded by the rating agencies, restore the confidence of Brazilians, but also the credibility of the country to foreign investors.
