Inflaction is controled in a 5% year rate; employment rising up regularly; foreign debt beeing honored in advance - it corresponds now to 1.4 times the country\'s GDP, 3 years ago it was as high as 4.4 times the GDP!; foreign trade performing excelent results - in 2005 hit an astonishing US$44 billion surplus; U$57 billion value international reserves - the highest ever registered; a highly responsible fiscal politic recording an annual surplus of 5.28%, allowing the Government to honor the domestic debt. For all these reasons the risk for investment in Brazil is sharply falling down and now it\'s about 300 rate. Lula means development and responsability. That\'s the reason Lula will be re-elected president in 2006!!!! - Guest Fri, 23 Dec 2005 10:55:55 +0100
