The European Technology Problem is a Social Issue

Observador2 September 2026 at 00:03

The European technology problem is described as a social issue. The European social model is pointed to as one of the continent's greatest achievements. At the same time, this same model is identified as one of the factors that help explain Europe's lower agility. The text thus suggests a complex relationship between European social achievements and the continent's technological performance.

Fintechs boost GDP by R$ 1.6 trillion in ten years and reduce costs with fees by R$ 149 billion, says study

A study by the Reglab research center, commissioned by Zetta (which brings together the country's largest fintechs, such as Nubank, Mercado Pago, and PicPay), revealed that digital financial institutions added R$ 1.6 trillion to Brazil's GDP between 2016 and 2026. Without fintechs, GDP in the first quarter of 2026 would be 2.2% lower, with emphasis on an increase of R$ 982 billion in consumption and R$ 371 billion in investments during the period. The research also calculated savings of R$ 149 billion for families and businesses in costs related to interest rates and bank fees, with R$ 102 billion referring to interest and the remainder to service charges. The analysis used a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) structural model.

Wines: Asia Is Not for the Impatient

Jorge Nunes's article analyzes whether Asian markets are worth the investment for Portuguese wine producers. The author, who has lived in Asia for 14 years representing the Symington family, divides the continent into four regions (Northeast Asia, China, Southeast Asia and India) and argues that Asia is not an "El Dorado", but rather a demanding, fragmented market that requires extreme patience. He emphasizes that while in viticulture seven years are accepted until the first harvest, in the commercial area producers give up after one to two years — which is insufficient for Asia. He argues that those with vision, patience and consistency can find real growth in this region where more than half of the world's population lives, but warns that without investment in human resources and physical presence, it's better not to try.
