Impactos das reformas tributárias e dos gastos públicos sobre o cresciento e os investimentos: O caso do Brasil

Um tradicional desafio das finanças públicas no Brasil ainda persiste: a taxa de investimento governamental prossegue em um patamar muito baixo, em termos históricos e comparada com a de outros países, em que pese o País tenha passado a ostentar das maiores cargas tributárias globais e também do volume total de gastos públicos entre as economias emergentes. Neste contexto, o objetivo desta análise é avaliar de que maneira reformas nas finanças públicas impactaram os indicadores e a política macroeconômica, com destaque para o crescimento potencial e investimentos fixos. No Brasil, as reformas institucionais historicamente se constituíram como reações às crises, logo, perderam ímpeto depois da virada dos século quando se atravessou o período mais longo de prosperidade econômica na América Latina puxado pelo boom das comoditties. Nem mesmo a crise financeira global levou aretomada de um ciclo de reformas no Brasil que optou por concentrar as atenções no crédito e o avalancar via endividamento público. O cenário atual passou a ser marcado pelo produto estagnado e por inflação crescente. A experiência brasileira não é animadora para os propósitos de vincular reformas institucionais, investimentos públicos e crescimento econômico.

Horizons 2030: Equality at the centre of sustainable development. Summary

The world is living a change of era. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals represent the international community’s response to the economic, distributive and environmental imbalances built up under the prevailing development pattern. This document, presented by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) to its member States at its thirty-sixth session, provides an analytical complement to the 2030 Agenda from a structuralist perspective and from the point of view of the Latin American and Caribbean countries. The proposals made here stem from the need to achieve progressive structural change in order to incorporate more knowledge into production, ensure social inclusion and combat the negative impacts of climate change. The reflections and proposals for advancing towards a new development pattern are geared to achieving equality and environmental sustainability. In these proposals, the creation of global and regional public goods and the corresponding domestic policies form the core for expanding the structuralist tradition towards a global Keynesianism and a development strategy centred around an environmental big push.
