Flávio Bolsonaro, presidential candidate of the Liberal Party, has bolstered his economic team with pro-market economists and executives. The economic plan will be led by Adolfo Sachsida, former mines and energy minister under Jair Bolsonaro. Seven additional economists joined the team on August 21, most of whom were veterans of Paulo Guedes's Economy Ministry.
The team includes energy economist Adriano Pires, entrepreneur Carolina Ragazzi, and lawyer Alexandre Chequer, among others. The platform, titled "For Brazil to Beat Backwardness," focuses on public security, women's economic independence, and a new fiscal anchor based on public debt relative to GDP. The team aims to shrink the cabinet from 39 ministries to the 23 under President Lula.
The hiring spree seeks to address concerns about generic solutions and detail sector-specific proposals.
