BNDES Role during the crisis • Supply long term funds for investment projects, particularly those already started • Coordinate actions along with private banks to support financially distressed companies 24
Lessons from the crisis • Brazil went through two decades of economic crisis (1984-2004): low growth, high volatility, hyperinflation etc • Learning by doing: inflation curbed (1994), primary surplus (1999), net foreign creditor (2004) • Advanced regulatory system, based on laws and regulations as well as financial contracts, shareholders agreements and cooperative experiences . 25
Lessons from the crisis • The most important lesson from the crisis is to act as fast as you can: stop the downward cycle and keep confidence among private banks and companies • Crisis management institutions have to be already in place: it takes too long to build them up • Central banks and fiscal authorities have a very important role but they have limits • State owned banks, particularly, development banks are institutions that can act as micro-regulators to help to stabilize the market on a micro level 26
