Brazil: Focus of Debate on Public Spending Needs to Shift
There is often a lack of consensus among economists when it comes to public policy recommendations.

Zeina Latif is chief economist at XP Investments. She holds master and doctorate degrees in Economics at University of Sao Paulo (USP).
Previously she worked at Royal Bank of Scotland as senior economist for Latin America, and ING, ABN Amro and HSBC Asset as chief economist for Brazil.
