    Brazil raises taxes on beer and sodas; primary surplus slightly down in March

    The coming World Cup should help collect more taxes: drink and feast

    The Brazilian government will raise taxes on beers, sodas and other beverages in a move that will raise an extra 1.5 billion Reais (674 million dollars) in revenue to help meet the fiscal savings goal.
