Pedro Malan, Brazilian minister of finance, addressed the Kellogg Club of Brazil on their country's economy.

Brazil

Our major accomplishment during our first quarter as Kellogg Alumni Club co-chairs was a meeting with the Brazilian minister of finance, Pedro Malan, in March. Several alumni attended the event to hear the minister discuss how Brazil was able to reach economic stability, and how the last eight years of President Cardoso’s administration changed the country. Mr. Malan also spoke about elections, globalization, trade barriers and subsidies, including steel and crops.

In the upcoming months we intend to launch a brief survey to get a better understanding of our alumni; the last survey was conducted four years ago. We want to know what initiatives would be appreciated, ranked in terms of importance.
