Brazil Unaffected by Europe's Fiscal Crisis

Online, May 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - 'Newlyweds' Cameron and Clegg have an almighty task on their hands trying to return the 'Great' to debt-ridden Britain whilst all around them the Eurozone appears on the brink of collapse. Contagion from Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Italy is spreading with fears these nations could affect recovery in others such as France and Germany. Brazil now offers the stability and growth that investors crave.

Samantha Gore, Sales Manager for uv10, explains, "Brazil's economy is set for strong growth over the coming years. One of the first countries to emerge from the global financial crisis in 2009, its GDP is anticipated to grow 6.3% this year, with some banks predicting even higher at 7.5%. Much of this positivity is due to a burgeoning middle class which is fuelling everything from domestic retail sales to the property market where an estimated 28 million additional homes will be required by 2020 to counteract the current housing deficit. Brazil has achieved much in a relatively short space of time and the long-term prospects for overseas investors are both stable and exciting."

Europe's escalating fiscal crisis is expected to have little impact on Brazil. Whilst the Bank of England recently warned that Britain faces years of pain and "the full impact of the financial crisis has yet to be seen" - Brazil is sitting pretty. Replete with natural resources, foreign reserves and maintaining closely monitored, relatively low levels of credit, the nation has been well managed by incumbent president Lula da Silva gaining the admiration of commentators across the globe. The job creation, infrastructure improvements and worldwide publicity gained from hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics will strengthen Brazil even further.

Samantha finishes, "Some of our potential customers are waiting for the Pound to strengthen before taking the step to purchase overseas but they're missing the point. The future for the UK and the Eurozone is uncertain at best. No one can yet predict how the austerity measures being discussed now will impact the British economy and the exchange rate may not improve over coming months as foreign investors remain wary of the currency. However, we can be sure of Brazil's immediate future being bright, and property purchasers could miss out on excellent investment opportunities if they hesitate."
