Como a guerra na Ucrânia está afetando a economia global

Além das mortes e da destruição, a invasão da Ucrânia pela Rússia, desde seu início, há menos de um mês, impactou toda a economia global, resultando em crescimento mais lento e elevação da inflação. Preços mais altos de alimentos e combustíveis de uso doméstico atingirão principalmente os mais pobres. A longo prazo, a guerra pode alterar fundamentalmente a ordem econômica e geopolítica global, com reconfiguração do comércio de energia e de cadeias de suprimentos. As redes de pagamentos internacionais também deverão se fragmentar, assim como os países poderão repensar suas reservas de moeda externa.

War in Ukraine and Risks of Stagflation

The war in Ukraine is bringing substantial financial, commodity price, and supply chain shocks to the global economy. Sanctions on Russia are already having a significant impact on its financial system and its economy. Price shocks will have a global impact. Energy and commodity prices—including wheat and other grains—have risen, intensifying inflationary pressures from supply chain disruptions and the recovery from the pandemic. The push toward relative deglobalization received from the pandemic will get stronger. One may expect an increasing weight of geopolitics in international payments and in the access to special commodities.

Como num embate pugilista, a expectativa é a de que os golpes no adversário podem nocauteá-lo, apesar da exposição no lado de quem golpeia.

Public financing of green innovation: Matchmaking of offers and demand for financing + Economic and Political Impacts of COVID-19 on BRICS Countries

Public financing of green innovation: Matchmaking of offers and demand for financing - Relevant recent literature states that direct and pervasive public financing has been instrumental in the development of innovative technological trajectories. The reasoning builds on: (i) the presence of finance from public sources across the entire innovation chain; (ii) the concept of ‘mission-oriented’ policies that have created new technological and industrial landscapes; and (iii) the entrepreneurial and lead investor role of public actors, willing and able to take on extreme risks, independent of the business cycle. On the other hand, public financing depends largely on the availability of funds. The available capital (human or otherwise) for different jurisdictions is different, which may motivate a case for heterogeneity of policies regarding innovation funding. ------------------- Economic and Political Impacts of COVID-19 on BRICS Countries The event, organized by GEBRICS/USP and the Department of International and Comparative Law (DIN) of the Faculty of Law, University of São Paulo, aims to bring together professors, researches, specialists and diplomatic representatives from all BRICS countries
