    Very good performance by the agricultural sector and I do not remember any tax breaks or subsidies being involved.

    Pity that mollycoddling the auto, white goods and ethanol production just delays the inevitable day of reckoning when they all have to stand on their own two feet in the rest of the world.

    Only then will Brasil be truly in the big league that Dilma so desperately wants.

    I wasn't disappointed ;) , in fact I expect the “growth” to be lowered when they revise this figure in coming months/years. Brazil's just a boom and buster like Argentina, forever to be mismanaged
