  • The Chilean perspective

    I must admit I am a little confused with the stats regarding Brazil. They claim inflation at 6% but if you go to a bank for a loan they charge you almost 40%. Another anomaly is that the benchmark central bank rate is 9% but if you have a savings account, say in Banco Santander for example you get only 5.7% Sounds very unreal, almost out of this world.

    USA on the brink on a default for not being able to pay its debt without loaning the Money, lecturing Brasil on how to manage their economy...

    Next up:

    Brits lecturing Argentina on human rights.

    I guess when a nation masters atrocities, the most natural step is to go out and spread the word...
