O BNDES e a financeirização do espaço geográfico : um estudo sobre os investimentos do banco no estado do Paraná

Abstract

This research focuses on the analysis of the National Bank for Economic and Social Development - BNDES and its relationship with the Brazilian economy, as well as the impacts of its performance in the State of Paraná between 2002 and 2023. The main objetive is to understand the relationship between economic development, the role of the Development Banks, and, in particular, the work of the BNDES. First, the connection between the modes of production and the development of society is discussed theoretically. Through this analysis, we seek to understand how the concept of development has evolved to play a prominent role in the economic and social scenario, culminating in the emergence of Development Banks around the world. This theoretical context lays the foundations for an understanding of the emergence of the BNDES as an essential institution in the Brazilian context. To compose the cut-off of the work we selected municipalities according to their importance for the state and the number of operations contracted by local institutions. Through these cities, we explore the direct impact of the BNDES on local economic development. In summary, this research presents an analysis of the relationship between the BNDES, economic development and the Brazilian economy. When considering the theoretical, historical and specific scenario of Paraná, we seek to provide an enriching understanding of the implications of the BNDES's action in the economic and social development of the country, above all on a regional scale.
