The Brazilian Economy
Brazil is the largest country in South America with the largest population.
Today, Brazil economy is on the rise. Blessed with abundant natural resources, Brazil
has become the most powerful country in South America in economic terms and thus
is leading the other countries of South America.
With large and growing Agricultural, mining, manufacturing and service sectors,
Brazil economy ranks highest among all the South American countries and it has also
acquired a strong position in global economy. The reason behind this is the strong
Brazilian economy and the economic policies and programs taken up by President Cardoso
and strengthened by President Lula Da Silva.
Brazil's economy has been undergoing a continuous growth and development from 2004
which has led to a rise in employment and real wages. The economic system of Brazil
is standing on a floating exchange rate, a regime that is inflation targeting and
a compressed fiscal policy. Brazil had to face a sharp depreciation in the currency
which led to a drastic adjustment in current account from 2003 to 2006. This was
followed by trade surpluses. Surplus agricultural production also led to an increase
in exports.
This is an economy that continues to go from strength to strength, was the first
market to emerge from the recent downturn and shows no sign of stopping!
