With barely one year to go until the crucial presidential elections of October 2018, Brazil鈥檚 political and economic outlook remains highly unpredictable. Congressional delays in addressing urgently needed structural reforms鈥攑articularly pensions and taxes鈥攃ould frustrate expectations among investors of a short-term economic recovery strong enough to pull the country out of its longest and deepest downturn. Political reform, required to rehabilitate the nation鈥檚 discredited system of political representation, remains a mirage. Ongoing criminal investigations into widespread corruption involving major political figures only add to the uncertainty. 

On September 29, the Brazil Institute will convene a panel of seasoned Brazilian experts to take stock of the current situation and discuss the challenges of the road ahead.
