The Real fell to an historic low against the US dollar reaching 3.60, the worst performance of the Brazilian Currency since the launch of the new economic plan 8 years ago. It recovered a little bit by the end of the week but the rise of the dollar made people realize that, maybe, things weren?t going as smoothly with the Brazilian economy as the government was leading the population to believe. People are worried. Most products Made in Brazil need imported parts so the inflation, which Brazilians thought was a ghost from the past, is slowly showing up again. The price of petrol, regulated by the dollar, is pushing up the prices of all other products - even basic products like bread need imported flower. Economy analysts like Professor Antonio Carlos Porto Gona?alves, Head of the Brazilian institute of Economics are confident that the situation is temporary and stress that what is happening in Brazil has nothing to do with the Argentinean crisis and point out that Brazil has a much stronger economy and a solid banking system. The current exchange rate made Brazilian products more competitive in the foreign markets but the dollars that the government desperately needs will not start flow in immediately. Once again the government has had to go to the International Monetary Fund for help. Rumours that an agreement with the IMF was reached this week was enough to calm down the market. But the main factors that brought up the latest crisis are still there - the uncertainty caused by upcoming elections in Brazil and the latest scandals involving big North American companies are making investors play it safe and avoid risky markets like Brazil.
