EM Drop-In: Brazil’s currency crisis – Economic and market implications

A collapsing currency. A gaping budget deficit. And a president adding fuel to the fire. As a sense of crisis envelopes Brazil, economists from our EM and Markets teams will be holding this special briefing on the market, policy, and the implications for Latin America’s biggest economy.

During this 20-minute session, the team will be answering your questions as they address key issues, including:

• Whether the central bank can put a floor under the real;
• What would trigger President Lula to embrace spending cuts;
• If the economy’s boom will come to an abrupt end.
