Bras\u00edlia \u2013 The sum of dollar inflow and outflow in Brazil (foreign exchange) resulted in a surplus of US$ 8.515 billion from September 1 to 16, the Brazilian Central Bank announced today (21). From January until last Friday (16), the forex surplus reached US$ 68.329 billion, as against US$ 12.936 billion in the same period of 2010.<\/p>\n
From September 1 to 16, a US$ 2.614 billion surplus was recorded in investment in bonds, shares, remittance of profits and dividends to foreign countries, and other operations, and the trade balance (export and import operations) showed a US$ 5.902 billion surplus. <\/p>\n
Last week, from September 12 to 16, the forex flow recorded a surplus of US$ 395 million. Investment in bonds and shares, and remittance of profits and dividends to foreign countries, among other operations recorded a deficit of US$ 1.191 billion and the trade balance posted a US$ 1.587 billion surplus.<\/p>\n
Year-to-date as of last week, investment in bonds and shares, and remittance of profits and dividends to foreign countries, among other operations, recorded a surplus of US$ 33.313 billion. The balance of trade recorded a surplus of US$ 35.016 billion.<\/p>\n
The Central Bank also announced that spot market dollar purchases have raised the country\u2019s foreign exchange reserves by US$ 327 million from September 1 to 16. In August, said operations led to a US$ 4.477 billion increase in reserves.<\/p>\n
As a result of the recent dollar price hike, the Central Bank halted its purchases of the US currency on September 14, for the first time this year.<\/p>\n
According to economists, the recent increase in the price of the dollar against the Brazilian real is the result of nervous speculation in a scenario of international crisis, and the trend is for the US currency to show peaks.<\/p>\n
