Rating For many years Brazil was literally an outcast in the money markets with a credit rating which actually prevented many investment funds from even looking at the country as a possible investment location. However, over the last couple of years there was an increase in productivity in the country, national debt was lowered and the political scene was much calmer. The improved prospects for the country resulted in the credit rating for Brazilian debt being increased which meant it was investment grade, i.e. it was now a legitimate investment location for investors around the world. Blossoming tourist Trade While cities such as Rio de Janeiro have always been seen as the Centre of the Brazilian tourist market and for many years took the bulk of the tourist traffic, there has been a major shift in trends over the last couple of years. We are now starting to see new and exciting areas of the country opened up to the tourist market and direct air flights becoming more and more common. This has led to places such as Natal taking on a whole new life and attracting both tourists and property investors in substantial numbers. Increased Infrastructure Spending One of the main benefits of the 2002 IMF bailout was the fact that finally Brazil was able to introduce a workable infrastructure spending plan which saw major improvements in road transport, utilities and a number of new airports appearing in different areas of the country. This massive country was now starting to open up to the outside world moving the bulk of the tourist traffic away from Rio de Janeiro and into other areas of the country. Booming Economy The Brazilian economy has been booming for a couple of years now and while there is some debate as to whether there needs to be a period of consolidation there is no doubting the influx of new and exciting business ventures to the region. Finally the economy has managed to break free of the clutches of the US (although US industries are still very active in Brazil) and plan a path for the future. The above factors have all come together at the right time to literally give Brazil a new lease of life after flirting with bankruptcy on a number of occasions. New technology is being embraced and new contacts are being made, with the country now able to finance its own debts and not depend upon outside parties for financial assistance. Conclusion The change in Brazil over the last decade has been nothing short of startling and it has not taken international property investors long to appreciate this. While property laws are still being developed, and have some way to go, there is no doubting the international appetite for property investment in Brazil is growing stronger as the economy expands. However, the government still maintains a tight control of money flows in and out of the country and there are a number of issues such as this which need to be appreciated when looking to acquire property in the flourishing country of

amenities, like some of those found in condominiums, plus more. The only difference this has with detached single family homes is that since they are located in exclusive villages, you must adhere to any regulations set upon by the owners or the HOA this can reduce the freedom you have in doing whatever you want with your home, which can be frustrating at times.I hope you found this newsletter as a learning experience interesting.

Moving to BrazilRelocating to Brazil is something which more and more people around the world have been considering even if the economic environment has reduced many peoples financial wealth. The idea of moving to Brazil is not a new idea as people have been relocating to South America for many years now. But what exactly does Brazil and South America have to offer? What has changed over the last 20 or 30 years to attract so many people to the region?BrazilBrazil is the largest country in South America and as a consequence it has one of the leading economies in the region and has benefited from the highs, although unfortunately the lows as well, experienced by the region. It is the fifth largest country in the world by land mass and the fifth largest country in the world by population with a very strong relationship with fellow South American countries as well as the United States of America.The country was originally a colony of Portugal and as a consequence is the only Portuguese speaking country in America and therefore attracts many people from that region. After a relatively difficult period prior to the turn-of-the-century the country is now a major economy not only in the region but it is also attracting significant investment from overseas companies.Where is Brazil?Brazil is situated on the east coast of South America and borders countries such as Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname and Guyana with Ecuador and Chile the only two South American countries not to border Brazil. This perfectly illustrates the position of the country with regards to the overall South American economy. There have been vast improvements in transport connections to the region with an array of airlines and shipping companies now servicing Brazil, offering a perfect route to entry for tourists and expats.The weather in BrazilWhile everybody is likely to associate hot weather and tropical climes with Brazil the country actually brings together five different climatic subtypes which include equatorial, tropical, semiarid, temperate and subtropical. While there are specific climatic differences with equatorial rainforests in the north, semiarid deserts in the Northeast, temperate forests in the south and tropical savannas in central Brazil you will also see a mixture of the various climates within these specific areas. In simple terms, the weather in Brazil is unpredictable!Rainfall in central Brazil is seasonal and fairly predictable and while rainfall in the south of Brazil is often throughout the year the Northeast region of the country has, and continues to, suffer from major droughts. Indeed the major drought of 1877 cost around 500,000 lives!Working in BrazilWhile Brazil has the 64th largest GDP in the world, according to the World Bank data, many people believe that Brazil will ultimately become a top-five economy in the world. The country has had, and continues to have, a very close relationship with the United States of America although tellingly the country has also developed strong links with many other overseas economies. It is the worlds eighth largest economy and the ninth largest in purchasing power but it is
the vast array of business sectors in which the country excels which many believe will push it to the next level in due course.Often used as a base by overseas companies to access South America and also access a relatively cheap workforce, the country is a significant player in export markets such as aircraft, electrical equipment, automobiles, ethanol, textiles, footwear, iron ore, steel, coffee, orange juice, soybeans and corn beef. Theres also been a significant increase in Brazils international investment market and the country is now a major force in the commodities arena. For many years the currency was pegged to the US dollar but since 1999 it has been allowed to float freely under the guidance of the Brazilian Central Bank.As the economy began to grow we saw a large number of overseas workers moving to Brazil to fill various skills gaps which began to emerge. The governments have been, and continue to be, very welcoming towards skilled workers in the region and expats looking to relocate to Brazil. The economy in Brazil is expected to grow by 8% this year and with net debt down to 42% of GDP, despite the fact were in the middle of worldwide economic difficulties, and unemployment having fallen to 7.5% (which is actually an eight-year low) the signs are good.Such is the strength of the Brazilian economy that the country actually loaned the International Monetary Fund (IMF) US$14 billion which is a major turnaround from 1999 when the country was on the verge of collapse and forced to take on a US$42 billion loan from the IMF.Transport Network in BrazilDespite the fact that Brazil is one of the largest countries in the world by land mass it does have a relatively good transport network although it is dominated by the road system with over 2,000,000 km of road in the country. The rail network had initially suffered something of a decline since 1945 but a rejuvenated government and additional funding for the transport network within Brazil have led to significant improvements and the introduction of privatization to the mix.It is also worth noting that Brazil has the second largest number of airports in the world totaling 2,500 although the vast majorities are relatively basic landing areas. However, the Sao Paulo airport is the largest and busiest in Brazil servicing much of the countrys commercial and tourist traffic. There are connecting flights to almost every major city in Brazil from Sao Paulo which has helped to improve and increase the standing of Brazil on the international arena.Major cities in BrazilThere are many cities in Brazil with populations over 1 million but the country is dominated by Sao Paulo which has over 11 million people, Rio de Janeiro with over 6 million, Salvador with over 3 million, Brasilia with over 2.6 million and the likes of Fortaleza with over 2.5 million residents. The ongoing improvement in the Brazilian economy, the strength of the country and the services and facilities on offer has led to a significant increase in tourist traffic and expats looking to resettle in

Football World Cup Could Put Spotlight on Brazils Real Estate Industry The real estate industry in Brazil has been buoyed by a new survey that shows that hosting an international football tournament will do more to boost a nation that any other sporting event. Brazil gets focus due to World CupWith excitement already building for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil 2014, the report from tourism marketing experts, Pangaea Network, says that the majority of travel professionals agreed that football tournaments are four times more popular than motor racing which ranked in second place. Earlier this year, Brazils Minister of Sports said that the World Cup is expected to bring in about US$5 billion for the tourism industry and 710,000 jobs of which 330,000 would be permanent. The effect on Brazils GDP through to 2019 is predicted to be over US$65 billion as a result of the investments, consumption and tourism that will continue in the aftermath of the World Cup. According to Andrea Severini, sales manager for Severini Properties based in Maceio, it will be a wonderful opportunity for Brazil to show its other assets as well. With 12 host cities spread around the country, Brazil will be given the chance to demonstrate its breathtaking beaches, heady metropolises, a wildlife rich interior and, most importantly, the notable progression of the nation in recent years, she said.Upgraded airports, monorail systems, new hotels, improved telecommunications and latest generation stadiums will be revealed for the world to see that Brazil is serious, stable, reliable and has transformed significantly both socially and economically, explained Andrea. With regards to real estate, its never going to be an exact science to predict the impact of a World Cup on the property market but it can only be positive. In 2004, FIFA selected South Africa as the first African nation to host the World Cup finals. In 2005 real estate prices in South Africa rose by a significant 35% and, whilst it cant take all the credit, the prospect of staging a global sporting event in 2010 was a major driver, she said. Were already seeing many more pure investors who are taking Brazils local market very seriously indeed and see the forced improvements in infrastructure as an extremely good thing as they make the Brazil much more accessible to visitors, improvements that will continue as Brazil gears up for the Olympics in 2016, she added.Brazil gets focus due to World CupI hope you found this newsletter as a learning experience interesting.

evident in the capital growth and the considerable rental income that was yielded by the properties located in the current tourist hotspots, particularly the ones at the northeast and at the seacoast regions of the country.
