O Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social e a transnacionalização do grande capital brasileiro (1990-2010)

Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the policy of the National Bank for Economic and Social Development in support of the transnationalization of Brazilian companies (1990-2010). In this study we analyze mainly the evolution of the policies of foment of the bank to the Brazilian exportations. We will see that, although it has given considerable focus on the implementation of privatizations, it has gradually changed to policies aiming the international insertion of Brazilian and foreign companies operating in Brazil to other countries. The creation of the Financial Program for Exports of Machinery and implements (Finamex) in 1990 marks the beginning of this agency actuation in this process. After the second half of this decade, and especially from 1997 to onwards, with the inauguration of the exportation financial program, BNDES-Exim, the institution started to act even more prominently. Thus, by using a theoretical marxist-gramscian view, this study scrutinize the evolution of the disbursements of Finamex and BNDES-Exim in order to map the companies, sectors, countries and regions benefited by these programs. We conclude that the actuation of the BNDES in this capitalist development strategy was marked by nuance. This represents more advancements and setbacks throughout the period than by ruptures or complete continuities.
