Very interesting forum on trends and prospects for Brazil's recent economic development. The importance of democratic process, sound fiscal policies and growth of exports through new products and markets are highlighted. Much work remains to be done, productivity must increase, restrictive regulations must be changed, infrastructure must be improved and the tax burden must decrease for Brazil to truly shine. Despite growing exports worldwide, to China, India, Russia and many other countries, Brazil cannot rely solely on commodity exports and must continue to develop industry and services.
