Abstract

Brazil has a long tradition of regional development policies. Since the mid-twentieth century, different governments have made efforts to reduce the differences between Brazilian regions. For example, we can mention the Northeast region that received great financial and institutional incentives for its development. In the 1990s, this process was interrupted and resumed in the 2000s with the arrival of the Workers’ Party governments. Among other mechanisms, there was BNDES’s financing participation at this new moment in the regional development process. This article aims to analyze the bank’s disbursements and whether there has been a change in the direction of the poorest regions. Although the participation of the richest region, Southeast, in the total of the national GDP has been reduced, it is not possible to say that the bank was central to this process.
