On May 5th, ESEG College, part of the Etapa Group, held the event. ESEG Macro. The meeting brought together leading figures from the financial market for a dynamic discussion on economics, business, and the impacts of global transformations on corporate decisions.
With the aim of deepening the understanding of the movements that shape the current economic landscape, the event's distinguishing feature was the direct integration between theory and practice, a discussion that was enriched by the active participation of undergraduate students, who acted as co-mediators, connecting the topics discussed in the classroom with the reality of the market.
Global Outlook and Uncertainties
The first part of the event was led by students Kaiky Dias and Vinicius Paixão, both in their seventh semester of Economics. They presented a general overview of the external scenario, highlighting how current geopolitical conflicts have directly influenced the economy and international trade.
During the presentation, the students pointed out that the state of war in various regions generates an environment of global uncertainty, affecting supply chains and growth projections for the coming quarters.
Kaiky Dias commented on the adventure of conceiving and organizing the event for the college audience: “The event was entirely conceived by us, the students of ESEG, and we had the full support of the institution to organize this debate, providing not only material support but also institutional support.”
Experts' View
Subsequently, the debate gained the support of two leading experts in the sector: Gustavo Sung, chief economist at Suno Research, and Marcelo Toledo, chief economist at Bradesco Asset Management (Bram).
The guests delved deeper into the analysis of macroeconomic risks, with a special focus on the oil crisis and commodity volatility.
Gustavo Sung, whose research focuses on Central Bank interventions in the exchange rate, provided insights on forecasting indicators, while Marcelo Toledo shared his experience in asset management and the development of complex economic scenarios.
For Marcelo Toledo, from Bradesco Asset Management, participating in ESEG Macro was an incredible experience: “It was a pleasure to participate in this event, to share this panel with fellow economists and to have the opportunity to discuss important topics for the students present here, to encourage them to develop through our experience in the field,” concludes the guest.
Academic Integration
To conclude the meeting, a question-and-answer session was held, allowing the students in attendance to interact directly with the economists. This exchange of experiences reinforced the event's purpose of preparing future professionals to lead in a world of rapid and constant change.
By combining the technical expertise of figures like Sung and Toledo with the critical thinking of its students, ESEG College reaffirms its commitment to an education that blends academic excellence with a strategic market vision.
