The are the largest economy and the last to be affected by the events of their policies. They will also be the last to come out of the slowdown. However the irony here is they will also affect when the other SA countries turn around which in turn again will affect Brazil. Catch 22.......the dictocracies inept policies are catching up to them. It's slowdown is increasing at an increasing rate. Brazil is getting desperate and is beginning to toss their excess weight.....Veneztina.
