Fundos constitucionais: a importância dos recursos federais para o desenvolvimento econômico das regiões menos favorecidas

Abstract

Writing this work made me understand how gigantic Brazil is and at the same time different in terms of its regions. If, on the one hand, the country presents riches and economic development greater than even those presented in many countries, on the other hand, this same State demonstrates poverty and little development in other regional locations. With this, it was therefore necessary to create viable solutions alleviate the problems of such economically disadvantaged regions. In the midst of this need, the constitutional fund, object of study of this work, in particular the Constitutional Fund of the Northeast. Content will be presented reagarding the role of the state of Maranhão in the constitutional fund of the north as well as an example of a program benefiting from the resources of these funds, how interest rates are applied for these credit concessions and the risks the these loans are subject to. Through these funds, the country has equalized its regions, increasing the economic and social development of less favored regions, which in the past were very different when compared. Through research in official electronic addresses of the federal government such as the official page of the Ministry of Regional Development, Northeast Bank, Sudam, among other pages, I collected data regarding constitutional funds. Thanks to this investment, Brazil has grown and developed, providing opportunities for small entrepreneurs to grow in their projects and, in turn, foster the creation of new jobs. Brazil grew and developed, the solution found through the Federal Constitution in its article 159 was of great importance and has shown positive results.
