Antonio Lanzana

Antonio Lanzana is an economist and the president of the Superior Council of Economics, Sociology, and Politics at Fecomercio-SP, as well as a professor at the University of São Paulo (USP). He has been vocal about the inefficiencies in Brazil's public spending, particularly highlighting the discrepancies in public sector salaries compared to the private sector. Lanzana emphasizes that Brazil has fewer public employees than the OECD average, yet spends a significantly higher percentage of its GDP on public salaries. His insights into the ongoing administrative reform discussions reflect a broader concern for improving productivity within the public sector to enhance service quality, especially in health and education.
