Brasília – Minister of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade, Luiz Fernando Furlan, says that Brazil should take advantage of the cheaper dollar and strengthen its reserves, boost trade and pay off dollar debts, especially companies in the private sector.
Furlan also announced that the government should announce measures to stimulate industrial and commercial activity at a meeting of the Industrial Development Council in December. The measures should go into effect in 2005 and will reduce taxes for maritime ports and so-called dry ports.
