The process of recovery might not be immediate, but it will involve actions that definitely consider informal businesses which were the most affected by the lockdown measures. People are still working on adaptations and ways of doing business with social distancing measures. And this might be a good opportunity for Brazil, actually the exportation of products such as meat and coming from the farming industry increased during the last few Months.

The inflation will also increase to 3.5% because of the high demand for the exportation of food and climate issues. Besides that, the expectation for  the creation of new positions in the labour market will have an impact in the increase of prices during 2021 too. But we will only be able to define and check the real economic impact of 2020 after we are able to deal with covid-19 and its consequences to businesses.
