Introduction
Brazil is South America’s most influential country, an emerging economic giant, and one of Latin America’s biggest democracies. Although Brazil has not been able to avoid the global financial and economic crisis, it has weathered its effects reasonably well owing to continuing macroeconomic consolidation, an improved external liability position and an adequate short-term policy response (OECD, 2009b). The improvement in fiscal stability since the economic stabilisation of the mid-1990s has made it possible to use the budget and financial management system as an instrument of managerial control.
