Ricardo Hammoud

Ricardo Hammoud is an economist and professor at the Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) in Brazil. He is known for his insights into the financial sector and has recently commented on the implications of the Central Bank's decision to block the acquisition of Banco Master by Banco de Brasília (BRB), arguing that the transaction would not add value to BRB and would merely serve to rescue Banco Master from its financial difficulties.
