Abstract

On March 16, 1990, the day after his inauguration, the President of the Republic,
Fernando Collor de Mello, supported by the Minister of Economy, Zélia Cardoso de
Mello, and the President of the Central Bank, Ibrahim Éris, presented the country with a new
stabilization plan, which has been called the Collor Plan. The Plan consists of a large number
of provisional measures and other legal documents. We publish in this Document the summary
of the Plan based on the article published in Gazeta Mercantil, Provisional Measure n.
168, the Plan’s main instrument, and the main articles published in the Brazilian press in the
three weeks following its implementation.
