When a business owner has someone to sell to, he increases production and hires, which is exactly what's happening now.
Because no one will invest if they have no one to sell to.
Do you agree with me?
Our view was that fiscal adjustment was important, but the fiscal adjustment had to be, for the first time in Brazil's history, targeted at those who had failed to pay taxes.
What did we do?
We opened the black box; everyone found out.
which economic groups had appropriated the budget, and we started fighting the so-called jabutis, to carry out the fiscal adjustment on those who had failed to pay taxes.
The result of this policy is that you can carry out the adjustment without harming economic growth.
When you make the adjustment on the poorest, you reduce consumption, and when you reduce consumption, you reduce investment.
But now what's happening is this: people are investing because they have someone to sell to.
So Brazil is growing with low inflation.
We were the second-fastest-growing country in the world in the second quarter of 2024.
We will collect from those who failed to pay, we will rebalance public accounts; with that, consumption will return and then investment will follow.
