Monetary Policy of the Brazilian Central Bank, Rodrigo Azevedo,
and the advisor to the board of the Brazilian Securities and

investment funds, custodians, and dealers listened to lectures
about opportunities in the Brazilian financial and capital markets,
as well as explanations of their efficiency, security, and reliability.
The goal of this event is to promote Brazilian markets to nonresident

The “BEST Brazil” initiative aims to be a permanent
channel for suggestions from the international community and
for discussions of the main concerns of international market
players in order to facilitate foreign investment in Brazil.
The event also works as a forum for presenting to international
investors the improvements achieved in the Brazilian capital
markets.
