Bras\u00edlia \u2013 Expenses of Brazilians abroad totalled US$ 653 million up to today (26). In April, this value reached US$ 770 million, according to figures supplied today (26) by the Central Bank.<\/p>\n
According to the head of the Economic Department at the Central Bank, Altamir Lopes, for these expenses to rise over the year, two factors must be evaluated: the depreciation of the dollar against the Brazilian real and the higher income of Brazilians.<\/p>\n
In the accumulated result for the year, the expenses of Brazilians abroad totalled US$ 2.687 billion, against US$ 3.477 billion from January to April 2008, a period prior to the worsening of the global financial crisis, in September.<\/p>\n
With the crisis, the Brazilian real lost ground as against the dollar. In recent days, the Brazilian real has been gaining ground again.<\/p>\n
Expenses of foreigners travelling in the country reached US$ 388 million in May and this month have already reached US$ 286 million. In the accumulated result for the year, these revenues for Brazil total US$ 1.810 billion, against US$ 2.047 billion in the same period last year. The crisis has reduced the number of foreigners travelling to Brazil.<\/p>\n
