Also as part of the publication, the IBGE held the Brazi in Figures Seminar at the auditorium of Vale do São Francisco University (Univasf), in São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí. Many authors and members of the academic community took part in discussions about the main topics approached in the publication.
“With Brazil in Figures, the IBGE intends to portray Brazil by making use of statistics, academic knowledge and art,” says the project coordinator, Isabela Torres. “This book is directed to the entire Brazilian society and also to the international community, as it is a bilingual publication.”
Brazil in Figures has been published every year since 1992. Besides information produced and provided by the IBGE, the authors use data from institutions such as the Central Bank of Brazil, regulatory agencies, Federal Ministries and other public bodies.
