    BNDES must transfer part of its corporate financing to SMEs, leaving the large corporates to do their thing on the world money markets.

    The other part should go on infrastructure with close monitoring and scrutiny; there is abundant evidence that giving the money to states for spending on infrastructure stokes up massive corruptions right through the 'food chain'.

    Yes, perfect article, besides, the data about expenditures is suitable, however, we are frequently asked a question - do really the presidents represent the real authority in Brazil? Or they are the symbolic figures on global chessboard? Should we doubt the fact that presidents can be manipulated, at all? http://enria.org/index.php/categories/global-policy/18155-who-is-governing-the-global-economy-and-how-we-can-avoid-peril-that-it-brings-to-us We ask you as an expert in this area of knowledge and finally, is it possible to say that presidents represent interests of biggest economic subjects, not people?

    Brazilian corps will have a hard time finding cheap Int'l money as the economy slows and the Rial depreciates.
