March 2010 Special Edition: Doing Business in Latin America Newsletter

Brazil's great expectations

This special edition of the Latin America newsletter focuses on Brazil's economic rebound. Confidence in the capital markets, increased market stability, rising consumer spending, increased transparency in financial reporting by public companies, and the maturing of the local private equity market are factors driving investment. However, to realize its full potential, Brazil will need to push for additional reform in the social, public sector, labor and tax areas, as well as continuing investment in education, health, and infrastructure.
