Experts Say Brazil Won't Grow More than 4.1% This Year PDF Print E-mail

A Brazilian company in Diadema, São Paulo state Brazilian financial institutions heard for the Focus Bulletin research, made by Brazil's Central Bank, believe that Brazil's economy should grow below the 4.5% target established by the government in its Growth Acceleration Program (PAC).

According to the just-released report, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP, the sum of all the riches produced in the country) will end 2007 with a 4.1% growth. The previous week the research had shown the same numbers. And for three weeks in a row now the forecast for 2008 is for a 4% growth in the GDP.

According to these analysts, the industrial production will grow 4% in 2007 and 4.4% next year.

In their evaluation, the overvalued dollar in relation to the real will not jeopardize exports. The experts are betting that the trade balance will end the year with a US$ 40 billion surplus. This amount is US$ 10 million less than the US$ 40,01 billion shown in the preceding survey.

Projections for the American dollar keep on falling. Analysts believe that the dollar will close 2007 at 2.05 reais - just one cent less than last week's forecast. For the end of 2008, the estimate changed from 2.13 reais to 2.12 reais.

The Focus Bulletin also pointed out that direct foreign investment, which produces jobs, is growing.  Forecasts for this year increased from US$ 18.3 billion to US$ 19.45 billion when the last two researches are compared.

I think that it is going to be much less than 4.1% discounting the inflation rate.The so called analysts always get their forecast wrong regarding the Brazilian economy.Anyone who has gone to the Supermarkets to buy basic groceries knows how to project the inflation rate as well as growth rate of the GNP.

Where I live in the south ....file migon has gone from $R14,00 kg to now $R 19,75 kg and Contra File from $R 9,95, to $R 14.75 in just the last 4 months. Pasta has increased 24 % since Dec/2006. My electric bill has increased 8% per kilowatts in the last 6 months and bottle gas has gone from $R 32,00 to $R 38,00 per canister bottle. They won't even make much over 3.5% this year in growth and the countries exorts are down 8 % this year already. Boa Sorte,,rsrsrsrsr

I thought I was the only fool questioning about the bullshit about the Growth Rate and the Inflation rate, that the Govt wants us to swallow. Thanks for reaffirming my view. Which state do you live?

Great to know. Which city? Must be one of those nice towns in the interior,because in the Capital, the prices are much higher than the figures you stated.

BTW, have you heard the news about lots of politicos being arrested in SC?

Keep blogging.Good to hear from you.

Interesting comments...to the costs of living !
written by ch.c., May 03, 2007
therefore what could anyone buy if he has a fanily and earns the minimum wage of Reals 368.- ????

Better yet : what could anyone buy with 0,50 Reais...to get 3 decent meals per day ????
Is that not what people get from the Bolsa Familia program ?

In my view, it is not enough.....even to buy ......soyameal....in bulk !!!!

Concerning your economic growth rate, it will be the 4th year out of 5 that Lula miss his own target !
Great achievement, isnt it !

For your info the average growth rate estimate of all economists is at 3,77 %, below your PAC estimate.
Subject to weekly revision !
Thus far they started the year at 3,5 % and revised their estimates up, while the PAC started with 4,5 % and is revised down !

Rosy estimates has been the norm with Lula promises !

  • Brazil Engaged in Another Olympics: Reshaping Its Image Before Games Open


    Economist's cover on BrazilBrazil received a huge boost in its international image with its selection as the host of the 2016 Olympics, but it was really just the cherry on top of the overall recognition of the country's ascension to the ranks of one of the world's most important countries. Now, as it finally takes its place on the world scene, there has been a great deal of concern about what kind of image Brazil hopes to project, now that the world is really paying attention.

  • Iranian Leader's Visit to Brazil Takes the Gloss off Lula's International Image


    Ahmadinejad meets LulaThe only good thing to say about the visit to Brazil of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Monday November 23, is that it was mercifully short and lasted less than 24 hours. Ahmadinejad had his picture taken being hugged by president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva who gave him a warm welcome and said Iran had every right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

  • Poor Women from Northeast Brazil Learn Joy of Meeting and Helping Each Other


    Joined hands The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area.

  • Ahmadinejad's Visit: Iran, Honduras and Brazil's Hypocrisy in Dealing With Them


    Ahmadinejad and Lula The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy.

  • Lula Is About to Fulfill His Wish of Getting His Good Friend Chavez in Mercosur


    Lula and Chavez On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil.

  • Denying Education is the Other AIDS. And Brazil Is Guilty of Inflicting It


    Children from a Diadema band Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms.

  • Child Labor Went Down in Brazil, But 5 Million Underage Workers Are Still Way Too Many


    Child labor in Brazil One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis.

  • Some Humility Would Do Lula Good. On Human Rights Brazil Has Long Way to Go


    A prison in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking.

  • Brazil's Amazon Rainforest Policy Is a One-Way Road to Disaster


    Trasamazonian road in BrazilDepletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse.

  • Geisy, Brazil's Miniskirt Student, Should Try US College Next Year


    Geisy Arruda from BrazilGeisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose.
