The government had convinced independent economists that a weaker currency, lower interest rates, and a cut in sales tax on cars and white goods would prompt a healthy expansion of 1.2% compared with the previous quarter. In the event, the figure was just 0.6%. The national statistics institute also slashed its estimate of second-quarter growth, from 0.4% to 0.2%. The Central Bank has reduced the policy interest rate from 12.5% in mid-2011 to a record low of 7.25%; it has also pushed state banks to cut spreads and to lend more. The only good news for the government was that consumption by households is still growing, albeit at a slower pace than in the recent past. That, and keeping inflation under control, are the recipe for political popularity in Brazil. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
