The Road to Prosperity

The documentary “The Road to Prosperity” presents testimonies from Guedes and
the team of the ministry that lasted from 2019 to 2022

On May 14, the city of New York hosts the premiere of the film “The Path to Prosperity” – a documentary directed by filmmaker Paulo Moura about the legacy of Paulo Guedes at the Ministry of Economy. The work features testimonies from Guedes and various members of the super-ministry, such as Daniella Marques, Adolfo Sachsida, and Waldery Rodrigues, as well as Carlos Langoni – economist and former president of the Central Bank, who passed away in June 2021.

The film presents as its guiding thread Paulo Guedes’ thesis for the Road to Prosperity, which at the Ministry of Economy translated mainly into the implementation of emergency measures, structural reforms, streamlining, and digital government. Through insightful interviews and firsthand accounts from over 30 government collaborators, the documentary narrates Guedes’ efforts to foster economic growth, attract foreign investment, and streamline bureaucratic processes.

Key themes explored include Guedes’ emphasis on reducing state intervention, promoting privatization, and implementing structural reforms like the Pension Reform. The film also sheds light on his vision for tax reform and digitalization of public services, positioning Brazil as a competitive player on the global stage.

Featuring testimonials from prominent figures in economics and government, “The Road to Prosperity” offers a comprehensive insight into Guedes’ transformative leadership and his enduring impact on Brazil’s economic trajectory.

The film does not yet have a release date in Brazil.
