Brasília – US dollar outflows to Brazil surpassed inflows by US$ 2.07 billion, month-to-date through October 10th (last Friday), according to data released this Wednesday (15th) by the Brazilian Central Bank (BC).
The negative result 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), which posted a US$ 2.47 billion deficit. Trade flow (export- and import-related exchange operations) had a US$ 400 million surplus.
Year-to-date through October 10th, the foreign exchange flow ran a US$ 727 million deficit. Over this period, the financial flow had a US$ 4.615 billion deficit and trade flow posted a US$ 3.888 billion surplus.
