Campos Neto Participated in Hearing at the Chamber of Deputies to Discuss GDP, Inflation, and Unemployment Projections

Roberto Campos Neto, President of the Central Bank, in a hearing before the Consumer Defense Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, cited some forecasts from financial institutions regarding the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP – the sum of all goods and services produced in the country) ranging from 1.5% to 2%. Today, the forecast is for a 1% increase.

Roberto Campos Neto presented the Central Bank’s outlook on GDP growth in 2022. He mentioned some indicators from important sectors of the economy, such as services. “We have seen upward revisions for Brazilian GDP. Brazil is one of the few countries that had its GDP revised upward. We’ve heard many talking about growth of 1.5% and 2%,” said Campos Neto in the Chamber of Deputies.

Roberto explained that the pandemic increased the demand for goods. This demand has persisted even after the resumption of in-person activities in the country. He explained that a higher demand for energy, combined with low investments in the sector, contributed to the maintenance of global inflation. To curb inflation, central banks around the world began to raise interest rates. “The world is starting to raise interest rates, and Brazil was ahead. We raised interest rates well; it was one of the first countries to publicly say that it understood the inflation problem would be more persistent,” he said.

Campos Neto Discusses the Unemployment Rate Released by IBGE

The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) announced on Tuesday, the 31st, that the unemployment rate in the first quarter of this year was 10.5%. Regarding the unemployment figures, the President of the Central Bank highlighted that he expects the numbers to remain below double digits by the end of the year.

“It was a quite positive surprise. In terms of the unemployment rate, when we look at the quarter, it was 10.5%. We are starting to talk about unemployment this year being below double digits. Remembering that before the pandemic, it was at 12%, so we are already at a much better level than before the pandemic,” he said.

Average Income of Brazilian Workers Decreases

On the other hand, IBGE recorded a drop in the average income of Brazilian workers. In the first quarter of 2021, the average income of Brazilians was R$ 2,790.00. Today, the average income is around R$ 2,569.00, which is a reduction of 7.9%.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

National Geographic strikes the hammer: yes, Africa is slowly splitting apart, a new ocean may form, and science considers this one of the most important geological phenomena of our time.

Watch created at USP is used by astronauts of Artemis II and brings Brazilian technology into NASA’s largest mission.

US$ 3.5 billion, a port capable of receiving the largest ships in the world, and a direct route to Shanghai place Chancay at the center of a logistics revolution that could cut up to two weeks off trade between South America and Asia, repositioning Peru as a new strategic hub of the Pacific.

Without a course in aerospace engineering and without a dedicated laboratory, USP students launch a rocket with a hybrid engine and bring Project Jupiter to the forefront of aerospace technology.
