Mercadante eliminates elevator that was exclusively for BNDES directors.
The decision pleased those who work at the bank. It was Aloizio Mercadante's first meeting with employees after his name was approved for the presidency of the institution.
247 The Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) will no longer have an elevator exclusively for directors, superintendents, and guests. Elderly employees, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and immunocompromised individuals will also be able to use it.
According to information from Panel columnThe decision, this Thursday (26), pleased bank employees. It was the first meeting of Aloizio Mercadante with BNDES employees after the approval of his name for the presidency of the bank. The new president of the bank promised to increase the institution's participation in the development of the economy.
The president of the bank's Employees Association (AFBNDES), Arthur Koblitz, said that Mercadante opened the door for participation in the debate about alternatives for the bank to increasingly contribute to economic growth.
The head of AFBNDES defended the discussion of topics such as the bank's loan operations abroad. "These operations are important for the country, for the competitiveness of Brazilian industry. I think this hysteria is anti-national because the government announced its willingness to resume this type of financing. The operations had a positive return for the country. The fund that guaranteed the operations is doing very well. It's not bankrupt," he said.
The president of AFBNDES also criticized the economic policies adopted by previous governments. "I can't understand why Brazilian liberals are against Brazil encouraging exports. The policy of supporting the export of engineering services was important for industry, for the government's foreign policy."
