We speak with Monica de Bolle about how we might stop the “carbon bomb” in the Amazon from going off. Monica de Bolle, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics since January 2017, was director for Latin American studies and emerging markets at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Named as "Honored Economist" in 2014 by the Order of Brazilian Economists for her contributions to the Brazilian policy debate, de Bolle focuses on macroeconomics, foreign exchange policy, monetary and fiscal policy, trade and inequality, financial regulation, and capital markets.

Her views on Brazil's economy and economic policy have been published widely by the international and Brazilian media. She contributes regularly to major Brazilian newspapers Exame, O Globo and O Estado de São Paulo.
