Urges the construction of a new alternative of political power in brazilFernando Alcoforado
The lack of political conditions to make economic changes that meet the interests of the nation and ensure the governance of the current power holders is committed because the government Dilma Rousseff has shown not have political force, does not have enough power and have no leadership to propose the nation a national development project that contributes to reverse the current situation. Time works against the government Dilma Rousseff whose tendency is to worsen the current situation and drop in acceptance of his government by the Brazilian population. All this set of factors can contribute to growth the movement for impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. Given this perspective, the Brazilian nation have to build a new alternative power with the creation of a new party that is the antithesis of the parties that held power after the military regime and demonstrate they are unable to promote economic and social development of country for the benefit of the vast majority of its population, and many of them are complicit with systemic corruption that advances in all instances of national power.
Just when the Government thought they could celebrate, yet another political storm took over Brazil. Following the immediate impacts of what’s now being called the JBS shock, markets cautiously await the prospect of the reform agenda – especially on social security. Reforming Brazil’s social security system is urgent and will be crucial for the return of fiscal sustainability in the long run – and there is no shortcut. Nonetheless, the reform is also vital for Government’s short term fiscal sanity. And both short and long term will play a key role in setting market expectations, despite relevant macroeconomic improvements in the past 12 months.
5 Insights on Future Challenges Facing Governments.pdfWajidKhanMP
What are the government's most pressing challenges in the second half of 2020? We asked 700 selected national and local politicians and officials from our network to participate in the survey. Wajid khan Mentioned The following five insights from our network's responses demonstrate an interesting prioritization of the problem.
1. The government will keep her busy in 2020 by solving budget problems and creating jobs.
The Covid-19 pandemic and its side effects are hitting the economy. That has a negative impact not only on job numbers but also on government tax revenues and, thus, budgets at all levels. Mayors, elected politicians, and civil servants are working to reduce the negative impact on budgets and government services. In addition, finding ways to stimulate local, regional and national economies and help businesses create new jobs is crucial for governments. These efforts will continue for the rest of the year and remain on the 2020 political agenda.
2. Aside from mitigating the impact of the corona crisis,
politicians and officials are divided over other policy areas the government will occupy in 2020. Aside from budgets and jobs, there has yet to be a consensus among politicians and officials on other pressing issues that will settle government in the second half of 2020. On the one hand, politicians assume that health and care issues will continue to be high on the agenda. On the other hand, civil servants focus on digitization and climate change. This is a direct reflection of the working environment of the two groups.
Politicians are thinking about how to make systems (such as health and care) more resilient to future crises, while governments are wondering how (their) day-to-day operations will be digitized. I am more concerned about what measures need to be implemented.
3. Politicians feel better equipped than officials to deal with pressing problems
Only a quarter of officials believe they will have the necessary resources to address their most pressing policy issues in the second half of 2020. In addition to more financial resources and better infrastructure, they are demanding new ways of bringing expertise and knowledge to the government (e.g., cooperation). Other governments, citizens, and scientists). By contrast, nearly half of the politicians surveyed believe they have the resources to address key policy challenges in 2020.
4. Politicians and officials want to learn how to manage the climate crisis from other governments.
Again, politicians and officials need a complete consensus on what policy areas they would like to learn from other governments. Politicians focus on education and climate policy, but officials want to know more about digitalization and how different governments plan to meet their climate goals. Climate change remains a top priority for governments, and the coronavirus crisis has only partially changed attitudes toward related projects and policies.

Solution
1.
To say we are in interesting times would be an understatement, the recent general election has
plunged us further into uncertainty. Putting aside the rights and wrongs of holding the election
and the unfolding political alliances it’s important to remember that on the ground people and
businesses are struggling to keep up with the changes and the potential impact. Most of us get on
with our lives despite the national turmoil. But the effect of that turmoil is to dampen investment
and decision making; which slows growth. Latest research by the Institute of Directors highlights
that 92% of respondents see current uncertainty over the make-up of the government as a
concern. There has been a negative swing of 34 points in confidence in the UK economy from
their last survey in May. This has serious implications for business growth, as how we interpret
and perceive our future, our risk aversion and our need to have good information to make
decisions can stifle our ability to act.
The national situation we are seeing unfold, in terms of lack of clear majority for either side, and
regardless of eventual party outcome, will be a government relying on a brokered deal to get
things through parliament which will exacerbate this uncertainty and the impact of Brexit fears.
So where can we look to for leadership?
A recent blog by the World Economic Forum has highlighted that in many places the nation state
is looking outdated, and even dangerous. Where power is too centralised and focussed on
national interests, policy is disengaged from the local, from the day to day lives of people and
businesses. The populist movement we are seeing globally is a reaction to this; dissatisfaction
with the way countries are governed creates turbulence in the current way of thinking and doing,
and challenges political structures. Shifting of decision making to a more local level eases
tensions as people see change locally and impact can be seen quicker. Cities are therefore
emerging as key leadership nodes, galvanising action and responding to local need. Focussing on
regional economic growth and giving powers and funding to local delivery structures to improve
growth can help alleviate the social and political tensions that have led us down this unfortunate
path to instability.
Half of humanity lives in cities and urbanization is set.
How does Brazil’s economic forecast look? After hosting the 2016 Olympic Games and finalizing the impeachment process of Dilma Rousseff, the question that remains is how the country’s economy will shape up over the coming months. Check out the latest Economic Focus Report by the British Diplomatic Mission for September 2016.
Throughout the world, the reversion of fortune suffered by the Brazilian economy since reaching its zenith as recently as 2010 has confounded shrewd commentators, seasoned analysts and market players alike. As 2015 unfolded,
ominous projections ("An Economy on the Brink", "Brazil's Economy Falters" "Worse May Be To Come") were no less widespread than expressions of bewilderment ("Whatever Happened to Brazil", "Brazilian Waxing and Waning",
"Brazil's Scandalous Boom to Bust Story"), and, more recently, of alarm ("Goldman Sachs Says Brazil Has Plunged Into ‘An Outright Depression’") concerning the fate of the South American BRIC country.
Despite profuse official protestations to the contrary, however, Brazil's afflictions
turn out to be of its own making, as it so often proves to be the case. Looking at
the set of clearly laid-out policy choices made by the Brazilian government – and
the almost as clearly spelled-out political objectives underlying them – should
provide enough explanatory evidence to sort out this cautionary tale for
developing countries everywhere.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.

Our monthly coverage of the Americas includes a new report on Chile, where President Michelle Bachelet continues
to make progress on fulfilling her ambitious campaign promises, but an economic slump has contributed to the steady
erosion of her popular support. With her net approval rating now negative, the window securing approval of key
elements of the reform program may be closing, as the president can expect to face pressure from her legislative allies
to focus on policies that hold the potential to give the
economic a lift in the near term. The report will examine
the political challenges that lie in store for Bachelet and
her Cabinet, and offer a fresh assessment of the prospects
for successful implementation of reforms now that time
has taken a bit of the shine off the second-term president.
Looking at the Middle East and North Africa, PRS
will issue a fully revised report on Egypt, where the
post-revolutionary order is increasingly becoming
indistinguishable from what came before, with a former
general seated at the center of power, the Islamist
opposition outlawed and repressed, and the government’s
ability to intimidate its enemies greatly enhanced by the
implementation of security measures that grant broad powers to silence unacceptable (as defined by authorities) forms
of dissent. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has indicated that overdue legislative elections might be held by March 2015,
but with the Muslim Brotherhood once again pushed to the political margins and the secular opposition divided and
dispirited, with several of its most prominent leaders behind bars, there is little reason to doubt that Sisi’s allies will
dominate the legislature.
On the economic front, the government has been sounding all the right notes. The interim regime secured approval of
its economic reform program from the IMF in November, and government leaders have promised a thorough overhaul
of investment rules and the regulatory framework, with the aim of attracting at least $15 billion of FDI per year and
generating annual real GDP growth of 6%. But it is clear that any chance of coming close to those targets will require
not only the establishment of a more predictable legal climate for investment and trade, but also a stable political climate
within which to conduct business operations. The report will discuss the necessary conditions for success on both of
those fronts, and assess the likelihood that the numerous potential sources of instability, including a radicalized Islamist
community, the democratic aspirations of political activists who have helped to topple two governments in the space of
less than three years, and a population that is eagerly anticipating a rapid economic recovery.

Ghana’s presidential election in 2016 looks set to be a rematch of the 2012 showdown between President John Mahama
and opposition leader Nana Akufo-Addo, after both men recently fended off challenges for the nominations of their
respective parties. The incumbent National Democratic Congress has been rattled by a combination of slowing
economic growth, currency depreciation, and corruption scandals, which have dealt a severe blow to Mahama’s re-
election chances. A ballooning fiscal deficit has pushed the public debt burden above 60% of GDP, and officials are
expected to implement tax increases and public-sector spending cuts in a bid to secure a three-year loan facility with
the IMF. The report will assess the likely impact of austerity measures on economic performance, and discuss the
implications of disappointing growth for political stability over the medium term.
Our Western European coverage kicks off 2015 with an in-depth assessment of the challenges facing France, as the
political problems continue to mount for President Francois Hollande’s reshuffled Socialist Party government, which is
still trying to balance the competing aims of fiscal correction against the urgent need to produce sustainable growth and
tackle high unemployment. The government faces the prospect of more labor strikes and politically motivated protests,
and regional elections fall due in March. PRS will assess how public pressure and electoral considerations might affect
the Socialist government’s policy strategy in the coming months. In that regard, the potential for a fresh surge of support
for the far-right National Front in the wake of the early January terrorist attack in Paris merits close attention, as do the
implications of the deadly assault on the offices of Charlie Hebdo for broader security risks inside France. The report
will also examine the economic outlook for the most fragile of Europe’s “core” economies, and what it means for the
broader stability of the euro zone.
For our report on Norway, we assess in detail how the sharp slide in global oil prices since last summer is likely to
affect the political and economic situation in what is usually considered to be one of the world’s least risky countries.
A substantial decline in offshore oil and gas investment spending over the next few years will have a knock-on impact
along the supplier chain, contributing to increased unemployment in a tight labor market and other adverse effects that
policy makers had been prone to ignore under more favorable oil-price scenarios. As a massive sovereign wealth fund
will ensure that the government has adequate resources to ride out the storm, our report will focus instead on possible
upside risks from the oil price slump, including the possibility that it could create the impetus for a diversification push
that leads to fresh opportunities for foreign investors.
Shifting to Eastern Europe, our coverage is highlighted by a new report on Bulgaria, where Boyko Borisov has been
returned as prime minister after less than two years in opposition, but once again heads a minority government whose
survival depends in part on the backing of a far-right party. The center-right administration has outlined a reform-
focused program aimed at shoring up the economic foundation, improving relations with the EU, and addressing the
sources of chronic instability that have tarnished the country’s reputation among investors. The reports will assess

Founded in 1979, the PRS Group is among the earliest commercial providers of political and country risk forecasts. Origi-
nally the Political Risk Services division of Frost & Sullivan, Inc. and then of UK-based IBC Group (now known as In-
forma), the firm occupies a niche market in the risk sector through the application of two globally recognized, proprietary,
quant-driven, and back-tested methodologies: Political Risk Services (PRS) and the International Country Risk Guide
(ICRG). A number of products based on these two risk rating systems are produced at regular intervals throughout the year.
The firm and its methodologies for assessing risk are the product of research conducted by Professors William Coplin and
Michael O’Leary of the Maxwell School of Public Affairs at Syracuse University in conjunction with the US Department
of State and the CIA. The overall goal was to develop an intellectually rigorous way of assessing the various components of
country risk that could be applied to a range of institutional settings. In the wake of the Iranian Revolution, where many
foreign firms were nationalized, the importance of the work intensified.
Our publications and data are used extensively worldwide by investors and businesses, colleges and universities, private
equity groups, and all of the main multilateral institutions.
