Dec 15th, 2015 - 09:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0The recession is this year is focused on the speculative financial system that lost $ 150 billion. On the other hand we won our financial independence of the United States.
Dec 15th, 2015 - 09:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0The important thing is to ban the inflow of dollars for speculative purposes.
I'm very confident in the resumption of the confidence of the economic agents in 2016.
Money will not miss. The trade surplus will exceed 330 billion yuan in 2016 (Credit Suisse).
Brazil is changing profile, or have changed. We have entered a phase of growth through foreign trade and no longer through domestic consumption. For now.

For all this to happen the exchange can not be valued!
A lot of countries “won” their financial independence from the USA, Cuba, Argentina, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran so you're in really good company.

Good luck with that.
A strong dollar also means imports are correspondingly more expensive.
Dec 15th, 2015 - 01:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does Brazil import fertilizers? Oil (yes)? Car parts (yes)? Luxury goods made by competent workers (yes)? Aircraft engines, parts and electronic instruments and controls (yes)? And a whole host of other things of course.
Have wages gone up by 29%? LOL
You can't depreciate yourself to wealth. Brazil has structural problems ( like China) that currency manipulation will never fix.

Dec 15th, 2015 - 04:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Don't expect the BRasshole to understand that...or anything else. He is an ignorant, brainwashed turd.
6. What I think is funny about Socialists/Statists who have no idea how a market works or on a grander scale an economy is they do something to fix a problem and it makes it terribly worse so they do the same thing on a bigger scale truly believing that the 1st thing they did just wasn't big enough and on and on until everything is so out of control it has to go to rock bottom to rise again.

Dec 15th, 2015 - 08:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Socialists scumbags just believe in populism, and when the money runs out, raise the taxes.....but you're right, they insist on the error.....which is understandable, given that their objective is not to do the right thing.
@8 BRasshole
Yes I was there , you ignorANUS........was glad to see the more intelligent portion of Brazilians asking for Dilma's , Lula's and the PT's heads. I suppose you were somewhere in your shitty slum, thinking up the next lie.
@9 Troy
Unfortunately. A real asshole.
@10 I knew it! I photographed you, Jack Bosta.
Dec 15th, 2015 - 09:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I know this is some-what of an old trope, but as it has now been proved, it bears repetition.
Dec 16th, 2015 - 01:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0The so-called Socialists have finally run-out of other people's money to spend, (viz. Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela).
The populations, (el pueblo), are starting to realize, and have vote for change/seek impeachment etc.
The other 'hangers-on' such as Ecuador and all the Petro-Caribe chancers are simply dominos ready to fall. They have been secondary beneficiaries of 'other people's money' and have nothing of their own.
It will be over soon, it maybe a bloody mess, but at least it will be over soon.
ilsen,
Dec 16th, 2015 - 04:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hoping the transition to sanity is not unnecessarily bloody.
Troy, I appreciate your kind sentiment, thank you,
Dec 16th, 2015 - 05:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0... but many, many, on both sides are looking for revenge, to protect their 'Cause', (which-ever, what-ever that maybe), and quite simply, the millions, yes, millions that are quite simply absolutely, fucking angry, really fucking angry, (for multitudinous reasons, on what-ever 'side' and there are many sides!).
Everyone is just furious with everyone-else...
yep. it's an almighty mess...
:-(
However....
After becoming aware of more info/detail very recently. I totally retract my earlier statement of “but at least it will be over soon.”@12
I now fear a bloodbath...
Although, it seems that, the Minister for Defence, who is also Chief of All Military, (even tho. the Constitution bans this, (haha only in Vnzla!)), is the stabilising force preventing a 'coup' and demanding democratic process...
Venezuela is at the brink of utter chaos.
More news soon.
I fear that the people are so vulnerable.
Dec 16th, 2015 - 07:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0I imagine that one way or the other, Maduro will be gone soon, but at what cost?
Does anybody know what the Armed Forces will do?

Dec 16th, 2015 - 12:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It must end in a bloody revolution for people to remember the cost and not repeat the same mistakes.

Dec 16th, 2015 - 06:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What a lying piece of crap....

Dec 16th, 2015 - 06:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There will be no recovery in 2016
There will be no surplus
It is just the begining.
Beginning of what?
Dec 16th, 2015 - 07:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0C'mon, let's hear your 'prediction'.
