Capacidade de endividamento dos países: análise comparativa do Brasil de 2010 a 2016.

Abstract

This work deals with Brazilian public indebtedness and its most important aspects such as: its definitions, its occurrence, its role in the financing of government spending and its evolution according to the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) percentage. Its objective is to make a contemporary analysis of the Brazilian internal indebtedness in the period between 2010 and 2016, comparing growth of domestic debt data with countries of the Mercosur bloc and also with the BRICS, and thus analyze the ability of an economy to acquire debt without compromising its balance in public accounts and economic indicators. The done research has an exploratory character based on the main theories of public debt sustainability, the data collection was carried out in a secondary way and treated in a quantitative way. Finally, it is concluded that the crisis that began in 2014 was a determining factor for the increase in domestic public debt in Brazil, due to the need for State funding to cover the budget deficit of three consecutive years of economic recession.
