Brazil is More Than Soccer and ‘Carnival’
Many investors rarely think about Brazil as a place to put
their investment dollars. They think Brazil is just a
country that goes crazy over soccer and has a wild
‘Carnival’ every year in Rio. But Brazil is so much more.
They may have the best economy in the Americas. Brazil
has made great strides under current President Luiz Inacio
Lula da Silva, commonly known as Lula. Lula took office
on January 1, 2003 and he has, since being in office, run a
very orthodox fiscal policy. The country has maintained
fiscal and trade surpluses for the better part of his
presidency.
Brazil’s highly capable Central Bank has followed a very
strong monetary policy. They have maintained high levels
of real interest rates, which prevented the economy from
overheating and creating an over-expansion of credit —
unlike the policies of others like the Federal Reserve.
In late April, the Brazilian Central Bank cut their interest
rate from 11.25% to 10.25%. This leaves them plenty of
room to cut interest rates further, if necessary, to stimulate
the Brazilian economy. Again, this distinguishes the
Brazilian Central Bank from the Federal Reserve and
others, who have left themselves virtually no room to cut
interest rates further.
Also, Brazil has long pursued a strategy of achieving
energy independence from foreign oil. Brazil started its
own ethanol program — based on its rich sugar crop and
offshore oil exploration using deep-sea drilling methods.
It’s achieved a remarkable degree of energy selfsufficiency
— again setting it apart from much of the rest
of the world.
Brazil, unlike the United States and other economies, is
not over-levered — It has prudent fiscal and monetary

PLAGIARISM ON THE INTERNET
For Anna, 22, a final year student in south-east
England, internet plagiarism is a natural part of
undergraduate life.
For the past three years, she says, she has been
submitting essays bought and copied from the internet and
passing them off as her own.
She is currently working on her final-year project
and most of the materials in the dissertation are coming
off the net.
Anna (not her real name) says she cheats because
it is easy to get away with it.
"It is easier, because sometimes when you go to
the library you can't find the necessary books or you have
too much to read," she says.
"But I'm always careful. The best way is to
combine library materials with essays bought from the
internet."
