Senator Delcídio do Amaral (PT) was elected this Tuesday, March 10, president of the Senate Economic Affairs Committee (CAE) for the 2015/2016 biennium. Upon taking office, he announced as one of the Commission's priorities in the coming months the discussion of “a great federative pact”, which will put an end to the fiscal war between the states. Senator Raimundo Lira (PMDB-PB) was sworn in as vice president. Delcídio said that the CAE is the appropriate forum for important reforms that the country requires, such as the tax and fiscal. Immediately, the new president informed that he is maintaining contacts with the Central Bank in order to schedule a public hearing with President Alexandre Tombini, who will make an assessment of monetary policy. At the next meeting, invitations to audiences with the ministers of Finance, Joaquim Levy, and of Planning, Nelson Barbosa, may be voted.
