Resumen
Descripción
Through an analysis of selected topics,
this study aims to offer inputs for a successful recovery
strategy for the city and the metropolitan region of Sao
Paulo (MSRP) in Brazil. The study first presents an analysis
of the underlying factors of the economic transition in the
MRSP, highlighting the factors behind the recent performance
of the MRSP in terms of job creation and growth. Then, four
inputs that would lead to a 'recovery strategy'
for the MRSP are discussed in detail: The key area in the
recovery strategy is 'Improving Fiscal Performance and
Creditworthiness.' This is discussed in Chapter 2 and
it provides an assessment of the current fiscal situation,
revising the fiscal scenario, and the links between economic
performance and fiscal spending. A second area of focus
within the recovery strategy is 'Improving
Competitiveness and the Investment Climate.' Chapter 3
assesses this issue along with the business environment in
the MRSP, using both direct surveys and econometric models.
A third area of focus under the MRSP recovery strategy is
'Improving Institutional Partnerships.' Chapter 4
explains this issue as confusing institutional framework;
overlapping responsibilities, the lack of coordination
across government levels, and little interaction with the
private sector have hampered the MRSP's ability to
react to economic and fiscal shocks. Finally,
'Improving Service Delivery' is the fourth focus
area within the MRSP recovery strategy and is covered in
chapter 5. The challenges of service delivery are
illustrated in this chapter through careful examination of
housing policies and programs in the Municipality of Sao Paulo.
