Medidas econômicas e de enfrentamento voltadas para a redução dos impactos da Covid-19 no Brasil

Abstract

The purpose of the work is essentially to synthesize the economic effects of the crisis resulting from Covid-19 and the response of public actions to fight it in Brazil, later observing the results and variations of economic indices. In addition, observing the initial economic actions adopted in different countries and the reasons, will also be seen coping measures that contemplated better scenarios, thus offering support for the formulators' reflection on what would be the basic measures to be used and to what extent, given that they depend on the specifics of each country. In other words, one of the purposes is to assist in current debates on the adjustment of policy formulations, without claiming originality, approaching yet another extract from the current economic bibliography on the subject with appropriate references. In general, the economic policies adopted in Brazil were observed and subsequently the results arising from them and the coping measures, seeking to conclude if there are signs that in this adverse and unexpected scenario, the actions managed to mitigate the implications and if different policies could bring better results . For this, the implications in the variables inflation, unemployment, income, consumption and GDP were observed. In addition to looking at actions that contributed to the confrontation and consequently positively in economic variables. Specifically, the research presents brief considerations about the economic implications of the Covid-19 pandemic, with a quick overview of the economic measures adopted by a group of countries, highlighting their similarities and specificities, as well as different coping approaches that contemplate better scenarios, thus presenting possible alternatives and contrasting those adopted in Brazil. Finally, it is concluded that there are positive stimuli in the economic variables that attenuated the impacts, but there are signs that different policies would bring better results and that late prevention measures aggravated the implications.
