This year is a presidential election year in Brazil, and I’ve been playing around with this tool that the brokerage firm Souza Barros put together, called BOVAP (Bolsa de Valores Políticos) to help Brazilians learn more about their politicians. Watch the video below to see how it works and then try to answer some of the questions below the video, and let me know what you think of the initiative and if you’d like to play!
1. What popular notion is BOVAP trying to end?
2. What market’s logic does the tool use?
3. What do you buy and sell on BOVAP?
4. What is the currency the tool uses called?
Answers after the break
1. That politics shouldn’t be talked about
2. Financial Market
3. Political Value
4. UVP, Unidade de Valor Político
