Brasília – Despite the global financial crisis, the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, hopes that Brazil may have profits and attract investment by international companies. "Brazil may be a good place for them to make their investment and have the necessary profit to help their headquarters pay their debts abroad," said the Brazilian president in an interview to Internet portals.
Lula guaranteed that, despite the crisis, he is going to proceed with the government social programs and with the works of the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), which includes federal investment in several areas of the Brazilian economy.
