Presidente: Senadora ANA AMÉLIA Relator: Senador WELLINGTON FAGUNDES Brasília 7 de dezembro de 2016 PREFÁCIO Com o intuito de aprimorar sua atuação institucional, o Senado Federal editou a Resolução nº 44, de 2013, que estabelece, no âmbito de suas comissões permanentes, procedimento anual de avaliação e discussão de políticas públicas, por meio de uma visão sistêmica acerca de seus efeitos sobre o conjunto da sociedade brasileira. O procedimento visa a dar maior efetividade à competência do Congresso Nacional inscrita no inciso X do art. 49 da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil (CRFB) para fiscalizar e controlar, diretamente ou por qualquer de suas Casas, os atos do Poder Executivo, incluídos os da Administração Indireta. Além disso, busca contribuir para aprimorar o debate sobre questões de notável relevância para a sociedade brasileira, qualificando a atuação desta Casa no âmbito do processo legislativo, mediante a obtenção e compilação de informações aptas a subsidiar a iniciativa legislativa parlamentar e a fundamentar o voto de seus membros em relação aos diferentes projetos de lei que são trazidos à sua apreciação. Em 2014, primeiro ano do ciclo de avaliações de políticas públicas no Senado Federal, esta Comissão analisou: 1) o Planejamento, Execução e Controle do Crédito Rural no Brasil; e 2) as Políticas Públicas sobre Recursos Hídricos para a Agricultura na Região Semiárida Nordestina, cujos relatórios resultaram na identificação de pontos positivos e também de fragilidades nas políticas avaliadas, gerando recomendações quanto à condução das referidas políticas e quanto a possíveis proposições legislativas que fossem ao encontro das questões apontadas nos relatórios de avaliação.

Banco Central do Brasil – História. II. Entrevista. III. Loyola, Gustavo. IV. Título. V. Coleção. CDU 336.711(81)(091) Apresentação O Banco Central do Brasil tem mais de 50 anos. A realização de entrevistas orais com personalidades que contribuíram para a sua construção faz parte da memória dessa Instituição, que tão intimamente se vincula à trajetória econômica do país. Essas entrevistas são apresentadas nesta Coleção História Contada do Banco Central do Brasil, que complementa iniciativas anteriores. É um privilégio poder apresentar esta Coleção. As entrevistas realizadas permitem não apenas um passeio pela história, mas também vivenciar as crises, os conflitos, as escolhas realizadas e as opiniões daqueles que deram um período de suas vidas pela construção do Brasil. Ao mesmo tempo, constituem material complementar às fontes históricas tradicionais. O conjunto de depoimentos demonstra claramente o processo de construção do Banco Central como instituição de Estado, persistente no cumprimento de sua missão. A preocupação com a edificação de uma organização com perfil técnico perpassa a todos os entrevistados. Ao mesmo tempo em que erguiam a estrutura, buscavam adotar as medidas de política econômica necessárias ao atingimento de sua missão. É evidente, também, a continuidade de projetos entre as diversas gestões, viabilizando construções que transcendem os mandatos de seus dirigentes.
