Brazil's current account deficit drops to 3.32% of GDP, lowest since 2010
The soaring US dollar and Brazil’s slumping economy led to a weaker demand for imported goods and services in 2015. As a result, Brazil’s current account deficit reached USD 58.942 billion, equivalent to 3.32% of GDP. The result is the smallest amount since 2010. In 2014, the current account deficit reached USD 104.181 billion, or 4.31% of GDP. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesIn 2015 there was recession in Brazil and even then the Brazil concentrated 77% of Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America. In addition to covering the entire current account deficit left over foreign currency in the Central Bank that turned into international reserves in Yuans.

Brazil is Toxic
Jan 27th, 2016 - 11:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Its on its way to looking like Venezuela, high crime, high murder rate, its top cities rank as the most dangerous in the world, they've gone into a depression they just don't realize it yet.
It won't recover until they get the Marxist monkeys out of office.
The NSA is also very toxic.
Jan 27th, 2016 - 02:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is still much to that we feel vindicated.
My advice to you is buy as many Rials today as you can.
Jan 27th, 2016 - 04:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It hear it worked well for the Rgs I suggested it to.
Bahahahahaha
REF: Headlines: Brazil's current account deficit drops.... blah, blah, blah“:
Jan 27th, 2016 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The majority of the Brazilians and I would prefer to see the headlines such as: ”The Cost of Living and Quality of Life of the Brazilians improved by n%!”
“Brazil’s current account deficit reached USD 58.942 billion, in 2015, equivalent to 3.32% of GDP. In 2014, the current account deficit reached USD 104.181 billion, or 4.31% of GDP”.
Jan 27th, 2016 - 05:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Although the current account deficit decreased in 2015 in relation to 2014, it is still nothing to write home about. Just need to look at the ”why', to realize there is nothing to comemorate....anyway, the result of Brazil's current account deficit is the least of its problems. I'd be more concerned with the Federal Government's debt, which by end 2015 has reached R$ 2.8 Trillion......approx 45% of the GNP for 2015.....and with a shrinking GNP (estimated at minus 3.5% in 2016), and a steadily rising debt, things don't look too good for the end of 2016.
The 50 most dangerous cities in the world are all in the Americas, including the U.S. Only South Africa is the exception.
Jan 27th, 2016 - 11:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I guess the rapefest/child molestation numbers will show up next year for Germany.
Jan 28th, 2016 - 12:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Germany is doomed.
Kinda fun to watch it stumble all over itself though trying to be all PC and then the peace loving Muslims rape a few hundred women a day. I wonder when they'll start kidnapping and making them into sexual slaves?
It shouldn't be too long now.
Germany sowed the seeds to the end of the EU as you've known it for the last 2 decades. It will go down as a failed experiment just like I've always thought it would.
@8 Not surprising you would find the subjects of rape, child molestation and sexual slaves 'kinda fun'.
Jan 28th, 2016 - 01:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not what I said though is it?
Jan 28th, 2016 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What I said is its kinda fun watch the Progressive PC EU crowd be brought down by its own idiotic beliefs.
Just like I said it would.
I hope you with your extended time away from trolling you've helping and providing comfort to the peace loving muslims establishing their new caliphate. If you can't do it yourself I am sure you know a 5-6 yo that could help them.

11. I think that there's a lot of under-reporting throughout the world. China has approx 1000 cities at a time under civil unrest. Nobody ever hears a thing. Nobody is getting killed there? Highly doubt it.
Jan 28th, 2016 - 02:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The list is missing quite a few African and Mid East countries too.
The Mexican Citizens Council clearly needs to do some more research.
I wonder if anyone else has every pointed out Elaine's ridiculous hypocrisy right to her face?
Kinda doubt she even realizes how ridiculous she is...
The fact is there are US cities on that list. You just want to distract from that fact.

Jan 28th, 2016 - 05:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think you may have overlooked the relationship with Mexico and the resultant violence in US southern cities.
Perhaps the one feeds the other?
Regardless of whether the study is truly significant, in that it may not have had access to data from certain countries, Brazil, once again breaks all (negative) records. It managed to get 18 cities on the list...although the worst are located in the north and northeast of Brazil, Curitiba (in the south) also appears....perhaps because that's where the BRasshole hangs out. Joking apart, it's surprising to see Curitiba and Porto Alegre on the list, considering that these cities have some of the highest HDI's in the country....the numbers in the northeast were to be expected, given the widespread ignorance and violent culture of its inhabitants. The study does not contemplate the ethnical aspect, nor where the perpetrators (of the crimes) are originally from, which is a pity, as this might explain why Curitiba and Porto Alegre got themselves on the list.
Jan 28th, 2016 - 06:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0All the US cities on that list have been run by Democrats and are mainly minorityou populations.
Jan 28th, 2016 - 06:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0These minorities have been ruined by the welfare state. They have no hope for a decent future until they drop the shackles of voting for bad governments over and over. Detroit was rich and beautiful before the Democrats started destroying it in the late 60s. Same story in every one of those cities on the list.
You take those few cities out of the country and the USA is one of the safest countries in the world.
.....USA is one of the safest countries in the world.....
Jan 28th, 2016 - 07:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I've never been robbed in Brazil. I was just mugged twice in my life, one in Los Angeles and another in Miami ...
@16 You're a lunatic!
17. If you were robbed it was because you were in a dangerous neighborhood.
Jan 28th, 2016 - 07:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was robbed in Rio in nightclub.
Totally different.
What do you disagree with in my post 16?
If you take everything that is not good in your country, your country becomes a haven. Including Burkina Faso. Including Haiti also becomes a paradise!

Since your English comprehension is clearly subpar I'll explain what I was saying.
Jan 28th, 2016 - 08:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The violence in the USA is concentrated in a parts of a few cities. Most everywhere is extremely safe.
Unless you happen to be in those parts of those few cities you're not going to have an issue.
In those cities it's mostly drug/gang related and most of the people killing and getting killed are minorities.
And frankly nobody really cares if drug/gang members off themselves.
@17 BRasshole
Jan 29th, 2016 - 01:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's perfectly understandable why you have never been robbed in Brazil. Reason : you've never been outside the boundary of your agricultural coop. If you had ever travelled to a big city, and walked around several shitty neighbourhoods at night, you'd be mugged, if not worse, almost immediately. It is notorious that areas surrounding the 'favelas' have the highest crime rates. That's why the northeast of Brazil takes the prize.
As to your claim you were robbed in LAX and MIA, that is a lie, because you've never left Brazil.
Brasole, you only dreamed you were in LA and Miami. NO tourist goes to those two major cities and not see the major tourist sites. You should have taken a nose dive off Mulholland Drive. Want to know a secret? East L.A. is not part of the tourist district.
Jan 29th, 2016 - 02:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brasole, my suggestion to you if you EVER wish to be taken seriously, refer to something a bit more serious than youtube. Brazil is #4 on the list worldwide for robberies:

Anyone can take an incident and make it beyond what it is. Overall Brazil is very unsafe. If criminals don't get you, mosquitoes will. Then, what's left, the polluted water will. Are you really going to have Olympians swim in, a flesh eating bacteria........really brass? Is this the pride of Brazil?
http://knoema.com/atlas/ranks/Robbery
Try not to drink the water, or walk outside.
And you visited the USA? Hahahaha....right. you could not describe either airport's luggage carousel.
Get a life and realize that the brics are doing what comes natural, sink. Only India is hanging in there.
