Bras\u00edlia \u2013 Foreign investment in fixed income papers and shares in Brazil reached US$ 50.448 billion from January to November this year, a record result since the Central Bank of Brazil started recording the figure, in 1947. The performance was influenced by the offer of Petrobras shares.<\/p>\n
The estimate by the Central Bank is that this investment should end the year at US$ 51.3 billion, against US$ 38 billion forecasted in September. For 2011, the estimate rose from US$ 36 billion to US$ 40 billion.<\/p>\n
The forecast for total foreign investment in Brazilian shares in 2010 was revised from US$ 22 billion to US$ 37.7 billion. In the case of fixed income, the projection dropped from US$ 16 billion to US$ 13.6 billion, due to an increase in the Tax on Financial Operations, in October.<\/p>\n
The government increased the tax on foreign investment in fixed income and in some kinds of investment on the futures market from 4% to 6%. The objective was to contain the inflow of foreign funds into the country, which appreciates the Brazilian real.<\/p>\n
For 2011, projections for total foreign investment in shares rose from US$ 21 billion to US$ 25 billion. The estimate for fixed income is US$ 15 billion.<\/p>\n
