Brazil in Detail Brazil has the ninth-largest economy in the world at purchasing power parity, with a diversified middle income economy with wide variations in development levels. As an emerging property market, Brazil currently sits on the brink of a boom period with investment growth inevitable. The election of President Lula Da Silva in 2003 has resulted in inflation currently standing at about 7.6 % with the North-eastern coastal area of Brazil enjoying increased investment focus as inflation has decreased to manageable levels and Brazil is now politically more stable than ever before. The Northeast is the poorest region of Brazil, but is attracting new investment as the Government encourages the growth of tourism in this location. International flights arriving in Brazil have increased by 13% per annum over the last 3 years. Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in Brazil with a growth of over 20% last year. However the vast majority of tourism is still home grown and Brazilians make up over 90% of the tourist market. This proportion is changing substantially as more and more international tourists are considering Brazil as their holiday destination. At present Brazil is generally better known among Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and other South American tourists but there are an ever increasing number of UK, Scandinavian and North American tourists now visiting the country. Brazil`s rapid growth in tourism is creating a huge demand for property and shrewd property investors are acting early, purchasing good value properties with a view to generating good rental yields. The market is gaining momentum from the purchasing power of the international market and property prices are steadily pushing upwards. The Brazilian lending base rate has fallen from a high of 42% in 1996 to 12% in 2007. Brazil`s economic expansion and low inflation levels could well result in central bankers in Brazil dramatically cutting their lending rates. A reduced cost of borrowing for Brazilian citizens, making loans affordable will be another lever to accelerate property price growth. Brazil Economy The Brazilian economy has become significantly more stable in recent years and much more foreign capital is now invested in national activities. Brazil is attractive because of the levels of returning capital,the open economy with low competition costs, low risks and high yields. Besides, there are other economic highlights: • Brazil, alongside China, India and Russia, is part of the BRIC, i.e. it will be one of the five largest economies in the world by 2050, according to a Goldman Sachs study. • With solid democratic institutions, credit macroeconomic management and respect for foreign companies rights and agreements, Brazil is an example for Latin America and a paradise for international investors. • Political and economic stability in the country are additional guarantees for foreign investors. • Brazil is only one step away from reaching “investment grade”, assuming that there will be an explosion in international investment in the country. • The Brazilian economy represents almost half of Latin American GDP. • The country presents massive opportunities because of the size of the domestic market, 186 millionpeople. • Brazil is nowadays one of the world’s 20 major exporters, selling $137.5 billion in products and services to other countries. • Economic stability and inflation control are reducing poverty and increasing the size of the middle class. The new Brazilian middle class alone ( 35 million families ) is 8% bigger than the population of Germany, or bigger than the populations of the Czech Republic. Belgium, Hungary, Portugal, Sweden, Austria, Finland Denmark, Norway, Ireland, New Zealand, Luxembourg and Iceland all together. • Brazil is the fifth country worldwide in terms of purchasing power, with more than $ 1 trillion in Purchasing Power Parity. • There are no restrictions on exporting profits or disinvesting capital for foreign investors. ECONOMIC FACTS With 170 million inhabitants, the internal demand for goods and services shows a growing curve, representing a potential that cannot be overlooked. The recent discoveries of oil and natural gas fields indicate that Brazil in a short time will become an exporter of these raw materials, as well as guaranteeing the supply of gas to the industrial sector. Such a position permits the reduction of internal costs and creates confidence, whether in new plant projects or in expansion projects for existing units. In any case, the benefits are immense, principally in the creation of jobs and increase in competitivity. The investments programmed for the infrastructure sector will increase the operational capacity of ports, stimulate exportations and allow better drainage for agricultural and industrial production. The reduction in costs will benefit the economy as a whole, improving even more the competitivity of Brazilian products in the international market as well as reducing prices of products for internal supply. Economic growth, established on concrete foundations, offers the Brazilian worker better salary conditions and consequently greater participation in the consumer market. This lends more vigor to the economy, broadening the bases of credit to the consumer and forming a cycle of satisfaction that reaches every sector. Real estate credit should expand from the current 2% to 10% of the GDP by 2015, and the structure of the Real Estate Financing System, by uniting the securitization mechanisms of receivable real estate, similar to those in international markets, will leverage the growth of Real Estate Receivables Certificates with the consequent attraction of institutional investors, such as private pension plan entities, insurance companies and investment funds.
