Officially your 3rd quarter GDP growth year on year is 1 % ONLY.
Therefore the difference between the official 1 % and the number of 8.86 % is unexplained, except that it represents the increase of the Reais to the US$.
Then you will find that the problem is even far bigger !!! Because the Reais increased by far more than the difference between 1 and 8.86 % !
Buggy Buggy Brazilian numbers ?
Could it be unknown IPEA maths ?
Or from cheap and incorrect Brazilian softwares ?
What is sure is that your own numbers dont match with your own numbers !
There are other numbers stated in the article that simply cannot be true. Too long to list and explain them.
Even adding the per sector analysis doesnt equal by a wide margin the total of the 3rd quarter GDP mentioned.
Lamentable coming from an Institute of Applied Research.
