Timeline

1953

Miriam Azevedo de Almeida Leitão (born 7 April 1953) is a Brazilian journalist and television presenter.

She has a program at GloboNews and is a commentator on economics at TV Globo's Bom Dia Brasil and writes the column Panorama Econômico in the newspaper O Globo.

1970

Leitão was active in the student movement and was a member of the Communist Party of Brazil in the early 1970 decade, during the military dictatorship in Brazil.

1972

In 1972, she was imprisoned and tortured by military agents; Leitão was pregnant at the time.

Miriam Leitão, as an economist at TV Globo, on March 8, 2022, in the midst of the energy crisis in Europe, made a comment about fuel prices in the country: — I know you must be thinking “it is hard to pay the price of gasoline ”.

In the rest of the world, it's been going up every week, okay?

Here in Brazil, it's been a long time without fuel prices rising.

And this, which can help the person who is struggling to fill the tank, also benefits very rich with big car and uses much more fuel.

And that increases injustice — according to Miriam, the drop in fuel prices is a fact that increases injustice.

1973

She is the mother of two sons, Vladimir Netto (1973) and Matheus Leitão (1977).

Leitão was born in Caratinga, Minas Gerais, to Dona Mariana and Reverendo Uriel de Almeida Leitão.

She has a degree in Journalism from Universidade de Brasília.

She started her career in Vitória, Espírito Santo, and worked at several news outlets, on print, radio and television, such as Gazeta Mercantil, Jornal do Brasil, Veja, O Estado de S. Paulo, O Globo, Rádio CBN, Globo News and Rede Globo.

She was reporter on diplomatic affairs at Gazeta Mercantil and editor of the economics desk at Jornal do Brasil.

Leitão is the mother of two sons, Vladimir Netto, born in 1973 and a journalist, as well as Matheus Leitão, born in 1977 and also a journalist.

1991

Since 1991 she works at Organizações Globo, first writing a column at the economy section of O Globo.

1996

In 1996, Leitão became the commentator on economics at Jornal Hoje together with Fátima Bernardes.

After leaving Jornal Hoje, Leitão became Bom Dia Brasil's economics commentator, substituting Ana Paula Padrão.

2003

In 2003, she became the host of GloboNews' Espaço Aberto Economia, in place of Joelmir Beting.

2009

During the International Financial Crisis, on June 29, 2009, Miriam Leitão wrote the following about the then Minister Guido Mantega's growth forecast of 4.5% of 2010 GDP: “He made a statement that in 2010 Brazil is prepared to grow 4.5%.

It is foolhardy to say that”.

In fact, the high growth of 7.5% that year was above the GDP potential and made inflation move away from the center of the target during the entire term of President Dilma Rousseff.

Also in 2009, Miriam Leitão warned that the strong loans given by BNDES to the group led by Eike Batista were not healthy for the economy and exposed the bank to the risks of a few large groups.

2013

In 2013, several companies of the group entered into bankruptcy.
