Renato Souza reported that, upon leaving a TV station in 2023, he received seven job offers. One of them came from a consulting firm whose partner, according to what he later discovered, had worked as a lobbyist for a company with financial ties to Banco Master. The consulting firm mentioned a major client and a contract still pending signature, but did not reveal who it was; Souza said he even thought it might be Banco do Brasil. The position would involve monitoring legal processes, uncovering background information, and anticipating decisions based on the analysis of the legal landscape for major clients. Souza stated that he found it strange that he would not be writing articles, but would be sending information and maintaining contact with sources. The conversation ended in the first meeting. Days later, he declined the invitation without knowing the salary or the conditions and chose another offer, one of the few on a CLT contract, for stability and predictability. Souza remarked that Brasília, despite having 3 million inhabitants, seemed to him marked by closed cycles. He said he chose journalism at the age of 10 and did not enter the profession for the money, although he considered it important for excellent work to be well compensated. For him, pursuing that dream could also bring the certainty of doing the right thing. #jornalismo #carreira #Brasília (translated)

The increase in energy prices and other raw materials due to the war (in the Middle East), which acts as a global negative shock, raising prices and affecting activity.

Tenreyro recalled that both forces have an inflationary effect and that the projections of this new report raise the global inflation figure to 4.7% in 2026, although an improvement is expected in 2027, down to 4.1%. #FMI #CrecimientoEconómico #InteligenciaArtificial (translated)
