    “I doubt the average person in Argentina realises how much their economy is being propped up by Brazil and the BNDES,” one Sao Paulo economist, who asked to remain anonymous so as not to bring attention to his clients, told Al Jazeera. “If they did know, they might start to ask some tough questions.”

    Uhmm, and I doubt that you're going to get your tax money back :))).
    Forget about the Argentines if they know or not, their is still good news for you Brazilians. Higher taxes are looming anytime in Argie fantasy land and if they can't pay, you just take over their natural resources.:)..as I typed before “Argentina is for sale”..

    Fantastic good news. At least some of the world's money is going some place, that is BNDES of Brazil.
    BankUnasur, more than likely would become one of the most active Bank in the region and its ramifications would soon expand over most south americam central banks, ganerating financial rewards. However, bank officials shoul have extremely precautions, because most and frequent customers are countries with poor economic performance and a long reputable characteristics for non-payment loans and elevated high risk backgrounds.

    Congratulations.
