From January to October this year, FDI reached US$ 56.001 billion, as against US$ 29.345 billion during the same period of 2010. The figure is equivalent to 2.47% of the GDP.<\/p>\n<p> According to the joint head of the Central Bank\u2019s Economic Department, Fernando Rocha, the investment was higher than expected because a slowing down of investment in the country did not take place as expected; rather, it should occur in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p> According to Rocha, FDI has not been hit by the external economic crisis. In November, the Central Bank projects that investment should reach US$ 4 billion. Up until the 22nd this month, foreign direct investment reached US$ 2.8 billion. \u201cThere are no signs of external uncertainty impacting these flows,\u201d said Rocha.<\/p>\n<p> <b>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign direct investment in Brazil reached US$ 5.5 billion in October, higher than the Central Bank\u2019s projection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2315,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-39932","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-economy"},"wps_subtitle":"Foreign direct investment in Brazil reached US$ 5.5 billion in October, higher than the Central Bank\u2019s projection.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2315"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39932\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
