巴西受制于令预算僵化的过多的规则；服务供给的碎片化；拙劣的项目和政策规划、监控和评估；缺少积极的公职人员表现激励；政策制定的司法化；以及官僚体系对风险的日益厌恶。
Brazil suffers from an excess of rules, which contribute to budget rigidity; fragmentation of service delivery; poor planning, monitoring, and evaluation of projects and policies; a lack of positive performance incentives for public-sector workers; the judicialization of policymaking; and an increasingly risk-averse bureaucracy.
