Brazilian government to boost its infrastructure

According to the Xinhua news agency, Brazil will continue to maintain the investment flow so the impact of the economic downturn being experienced by Europe and the US does not result in "exorbitant costs." Dilma Rousseff, minister-chief of the Civilian Household of the Presidency told the House of Deputies that the Brazilian President intends to tackle the economic slowdown.

Brazil has spent $22.9 billion (£13.9 billion) on stabilizing the currency against the US dollar, the Associated Press reported. The investments the government has made to boost its economy is through swaps, loans and direct auctions of dollars that will not be put back into the $200 billion the country has in reserves.

Meanwhile, a new report released by Real Capital Analytics stated that Brazil real estate enjoyed a rise of 40 per cent during the first six months of this year but Emergency markets accounted for one quarter of all property sales in the first-half of 2008 - up from ten per cent in the same period last year.

This comes after The Brazilian Society of Transnational Corporations and Economic Globalization revealed that Some £17 million was invested in the nation by people from other countries last year.
