POPULISMO ECONÔMICO BRASILEIRO DA NOVA REPÚBLICA: UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE AS POLÍTICAS FISCAIS E MONETÁRIAS BRASILEIRAS NO PERÍODO DE 1995-2022

Abstract

The objective of the research was to identify which rulers between 1995 and 2022 fit the label of economic populism in fiscal and monetary matters. Regarding the method, the study is applied, dialectical, bibliographic, descriptive, and qualitative. As for the results, there were years in which the economic indicators of gross external debt, net external debt, real GDP, primary surplus, balance of payments, IPCA (price index), monitored IPCA, gross public debt, net public debt and Selic (interbank) rate were below expectations. With these data collected and in view of the Brazilian and world socioeconomic context, the Dilma, Bolsonaro and, partially, the Fernando Henrique Cardoso governments show signs of being embedded in economic populism.
