São Paulo – After starting the year in deficit, the foreign exchange cash flow in January turned to positive results in the last week. According to data released by the Brazilian Central Bank this Wednesday (28), Brazil’s net inflow stands at US$ 662 million in 2015. The result turned positive after the Central Bank recorded a US$ 756 million inflow last week.
According to information by the Central Bank released by Agência Brasil, the surplus was the result of the performance of the financial market, in which investments and bond operations, remittance of profits and dividends and direct foreign investments are accounted for. This calculation gave a positive result of US$ 794 million last week.
While the commercial segment, in which foreign exchange operation related to imports and exports are accounted for, registered a negative result of US$ 38 million last weeks. In 2014, the foreign exchange recorded a negative result of US$ 9.287 billion.
