Mecanismos utilizados pelos planos de estabilização econômica do Cruzado ao Real

Abstract

This work investigates the mechanisms adopted by economic stabilization plans in Brazil, spanning the period from the Cruzado Plan implemented in 1986 to the adoption of the Real in 1994. The main objective is to analyze the strategies employed by governments to curb hyperinflation and promote economic stability. Initially, the study addresses the historical context that led to the need for stabilization plans, highlighting the inflationary crisis that plagued the country in the 1980s and 1990s. Subsequently, the major plans adopted during this period, such as the Cruzado Plan, Bresser Plan, Summer Plan, and Collor Plan, are analyzed, identifying the specific mechanisms used in each of them. The methodological approach combines documentary analysis, literature review, and case studies, aiming to comprehend not only the intentions of the plans but also their effectiveness and limitations. The understanding of political choices, external factors influencing decisions, and lessons learned throughout this process are also considered.
