Brasília – Brazil’s dollar outflow surpassed the inflow by US$ 4.039 billion, this month, until the 18th, according to data from the Brazilian Central Bank (BC) released this Wednesday (23rd). Last week’s US$ 1.388 billion surplus was not enough to change the month’s negative partial result.
Most of the deficit in July, by the 18th, can be mapped back to the financial segment (investment in bonds, remittance of profits and dividends to foreign countries and foreign direct investment, among other operations), at US$ 3.617 billion. Trade flow (export and import-related exchange operations) posted a deficit of US$ 422 million.
Year-to-date through last week, foreign exchange flow is posting a surplus of US$ 108 million. In this period, financial flow posted a deficit of US$ 2.361 billion, and trade flow, a surplus of US$ 2.468 billion.
