The objective of the first panel is to discuss the need for public policy coordination in view of the new development challenges of the 21st century - in the context of the post-2008 crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic - and the responses being made by central banks and national treasuries internationally.

Organized by the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) in partnership with CEBRI and the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (FIESP), the international conference "A Sustainable Development Strategy for the 21st Century" will bring together industry experts to discuss the coordination between fiscal and monetary policy and how to make them compatible to boost a long-term investment strategy in Brazil, tailored to 21st-century demands.
