Growth has been disappointing
Public accounts tell us good stories

PAC: Acceleration Growth Program
• Fiscal accounts– Primary surplus reduction due to public investment
increase (0.5% of GDP)– Payroll expenditure control: inflation plus 1,5%– Minimum wage increase for the next 5 years :
negative impact on social security accounts– Small tax exemptions– Social security reform – Unlikely in this administration
PAC: Acceleration Growth Program
• Increase of regional government borrowing limits to housing, water & sewage investments
• Better regulatory environment– Natural gas– Regulatory agencies– Environment
Institutional Framework
• Congressional autonomy• Judiciary independence
• Rule of law
Investment grade: how far is it?
