Brasília – USD dollar outflows from Brazil were higher than inflows by USD 3.5 billion in October, the Central Bank reported this Wednesday (4th). The deficit was mostly due to financial operations (investment in bonds, profit and dividend remittances and foreign direct investment, among other operations), with outflows exceeding inflows by USD 3.263 billion.
