Análise: O Que O Mercado Financeiro Pensa Do Governo Lula | Ww

In a recent survey conducted by Genial Quest, a specialized company in market research, the opinions of the financial market regarding the government of former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his economic policies were revealed. The results were quite revealing, to say the least.

A Dire Situation: The Market's Disapproval

According to the respondents, a staggering 98% believe that the direction of the economic policy under Lula's government is wrong, while only a mere 2% consider it to be right. This overwhelming disapproval reflects a lack of confidence in the current approach to managing Brazil's economy.

Bleak Expectations: Pessimism for the Future

When asked about their expectations for the economy in the next 12 months, 78% of those surveyed expressed a belief that it will worsen, leaving only 6% hopeful for improvement. However, interestingly enough, public opinion seems to diverge from this pessimistic outlook. Among the general population, 62% believe that things will get better, while 20% anticipate a decline.

Doubts on Fiscal Sustainability

The survey also shed light on concerns regarding the government's fiscal policy and its impact on public debt sustainability. An overwhelming majority of 90% of respondents do not believe that the current fiscal measures implemented by Lula's administration will lead to long-term sustainability of public debt. This lack of confidence raises questions about the effectiveness and viability of current fiscal strategies.

Trust Deficit: Lula's Approval Rating

When it comes to trust in President Lula himself, the results are far from encouraging. Only 1% of those surveyed expressed strong confidence in him, while a staggering 94% have little to no trust in his leadership. These numbers paint a picture of widespread skepticism and doubt among both market insiders and the general public.

A Beacon of Trust: Roberto Campos Neto

Interestingly, the survey also revealed that the President of the Central Bank, Roberto Campos Neto, enjoys the highest level of trust among market participants. With a 68% approval rating, he stands out as a figure who inspires confidence in his ability to navigate Brazil's economic challenges. This finding highlights the importance of strong leadership and expertise in shaping market sentiment.
