“The meeting was a great opportunity for us to share business statistical production elaborated by the IBGE, especially the studies made directly from CEMPRE, which, due to its functionality of disaggregation by territory, van become an important tool for analysis and research in places like the ACRJ. It was very rewarding to realize our associates and guests acknowledge the importance of the activities performed by the IBGE. More than an informed audiences, they were people who had knowledge of all the business-related studies produced by the Institute, which reinforces the permanent need for effective dissemination and direct contact with society,” said Thiego Ferreira.
