Tighter credit conditions worldwide postpone investment decisions.
►
The more dependent a country is on international financing the larger the impact.
►
The reliance of the Brazilian economy on credit is low.
►
The reliance of the Brazilian economy on external debt is the lowest among peers.

Low Investment Dependence
►
Falling equity and bond markets worldwide erode the value of savings.
►
High risk aversion prevent foreign direct and portfolio investment abroad.
►
Similarly to what happens to credit, Brazil has low saving rates when compared to peers.
►
Foreign direct investment, in net terms in not consistently positive nor meaningful.
►
Foreign exchange flows are of quality: trade over financial flows.

The Most Important Channel of International Contagion
is Currency Depreciation
►
The major risk we see is if an international crisis leads to a sharp deterioration of the value of the
currency.
►
Ceasing the interest rate convergence process for a substantial period would affect directly
consumption and investment.
►
Consumption and investment stand for nearly 80% of GDP .
►
A weak currency feeds through directly to inflation expectations and could lead the BCB to even
hike rates in the current environment of strong domestic demand.
►
Didn’t happen so far. Uncertainty is likely to diminish in 2008.
►
In an extreme scenario, a strong slump in exports, i.e. deep double digit, would have an important
impact on growth.
►
Nevertheless, in such an environment all the remaining arguments stand for an outperformance of
Brazil over peers.
►
These situations aren´t our base case scenario.

SECTION 3
Outlook
Supportive Domestic Environment
►
We expect economic growth to remain supported by domestic demand.
►
Lower trade surplus.
►
Deficit in the current account.
►
Monetary policy and trade could decelerate growth in the 2H08.
►
Strong BRL at all times on the back of exports, financial inflows and rising interest rate differentials.

Inflation is our Main Concern
►
Our top concern is inflation.
►
What could push inflation up: oil, food, service (non-tradable), capacity restrictions, BRL
depreciation.
►
What could push inflation down: a strong BRL, Monetary Policy Committee (Copom).

Copom on Hold in 2008
►
We expect the Copom to be on hold most of the year.
►
Arguments for rising rates: Potential BRL depreciation if international environment deteriorates
further, strong domestic demand, commodity, food and non-tradable prices.
►
Arguments to be on hold: Strong BRL, high weigh of consumption and investment in the economy,
lower trade surplus, FED policy.

Path to Investment Grade
►
We expect Brazil to continue the path to investment grade.
►
By many credit metrics Brazil already compares favourably with investment grade countries.
►
Current account deficit in 2008 could raise concerns about the country’s external vulnerability.
►
Debt levels remain high for investment grade standards.
►
Fiscal discipline – Will the government be successful in implementing a replacement for CPMF tax?
►
Rating agencies are more prudent given high international uncertainty.
►
Financial markets decoupling hasn’t been clear at all times. Buy opportunity?
