Cumprimento de metas específicas impostas pelo FMI e como elas foram implementadas no período de 1980 até 1994 no Brasil.

Abstract

The history of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from its creation after World War II to its role in contemporary financial crises is marked by an ongoing quest for global economic stability and cooperation. The IMF's adaptation to promote growth and stability in developing economies underscored the need for flexible approaches in the face of ever-evolving challenges. In the Brazilian context, the debt crisis in the 1980s prompted the country to seek solutions through agreements with the IMF, facing difficulties in implementing adjustment measures. While controversial, trade liberalization and privatization managed to stabilize the economy and lay the groundwork for future growth. This crisis also highlighted the intrinsic connection between economic policies and political circumstances. The Brady Plan, introduced in 1989, brought debt securitization as a means to restructure the obligations of heavily indebted countries. However, the effectiveness of this plan varied among nations, underscoring the complexity of the responses required during financial crises. The Washington Consensus, parallel to the Brady Plan, advocated economic policies aimed at stability and growth. Brazil implemented these policies in the 1990s, but their outcomes and impacts were widely debated, illustrating the intricate interplay between economic, political, and social actions. The trajectory of the IMF and Brazil's experiences reflect the need for multidimensional approaches to tackle complex economic crises. These approaches must consider the interdependence of global economies, domestic political realities, and the evolution of economic circumstances.
