“The crisis is serious, but will be overcome.”

Resumo

The Brazilian economy has sound fundamentals, is well diversified, and has a large and expanding consumer market. This — not interest rates — is what attracts the foreign investor, explains Henrique Meirelles, Governor of the Central Bank of Brazil. He has no doubt that Brazil will emerge from the current crisis in better shape than it was when the crisis broke out. Interviewed by Liliana Lavoratti.
