During this period, Antonio Marcos Umbelino Lôbo sometimes takes on positions in the public administration, and for that reason, he has to leave the command of the company.

The government was characterized mainly by social programs to reduce poverty and hunger, such as Bolsa Família.
In economic terms, the Lula government was marked by an average GDP growth of 4% per year, records in the country's trade balance and international reserves, low rates of inflation and unemployment. This context contributed to the country not feeling substantially the effects of the financial crisis in 2008-2009. It also launched the PAC - Growth Acceleration Program -, promoted the concession of federal highways and the privatization of hydroelectric plants, such as Santo Antônio and Jirau. Another event worth mentioning was the Air Sector Crisis.

The main political crisis faced was caused by the Mensalão scandal.

Michel Temer (PMDB / SP) definitively assumes the mandate
His mandate was marked by measures aimed at resuming economic growth in the country, such as the PEC of the Constitutional Ceiling and changes in labor laws. However, the Pension Reform was not completed, remaining as the main challenge for the later government. Temer also suffered two requests for denunciation sent for analysis by the National Congress, but which were not accepted by the Chamber of Deputies and, thus, the processes did not proceed.
