Brasília Consensus

The Brasília Consensus refers to a set of policy ideas that emerged in the early 2000s, emphasizing responsible economic management, social inclusion, and sustainable development in Latin America. It advocates for sound fiscal policies, investment in education, and social programs to reduce inequality.

Overall, it promotes combining market efficiency with social policies to promote sustainable progress across the region.
