Less than eight months before what it seems will be one of the most competitive elections Brazil ever had, analysts believe that there are some investment risks to watch in the country this year. Corruption and a period of policy stagnation are two of them. But, they also think that the presidential dispute in October looks less risky to investors than any other in the last quarter of a century and the economy has bounced back after a brief recession due to the global financial crisis. Brazilian industrial production (IP) growth soared on a year-on-year basis in December 2009 by a staggering 18.1%, its highest growth rate at least since 1992. There are many other economic good news about the country, which went through enormous social transformation in the last decade and a half. Brazil is South America’s most influential country, an economic giant and one of the world’s biggest democracies. It has nearly 200 million inhabitantes and it has a multicultural society. According to some international organization´s forecasts, the Brazilian economy will be the fourth in the world by 2030.
