"Booming Brazil“,but…

� Brazil is "booming" indeed, but GDP numbers

are disappointing. Outlook for the 2014-2016

GDP growth is around 1 % /year, fueled by

crude oil revenues, infra structure investments,

decreasing (high) interest rate generating an increase in consumption in a growing middle class.

� Inflation is under control.

� To de-bottleneck and accelerate the sustainable growth of Brazil, President Dilma launched the PAC (Growth Acceleration) program with a total investment of US$ 1,2 trillion (PAC 1&2)

� Huge corruption scandal within Petrobras & supplying Construction Cies (“Car Wash”) can change political & economic scenario drastic in 2015
