Bras\u00edlia \u2013 The exchange flow in March generated a surplus of US$ 5.74 billion. The result is due to the good performance of trade in the month, which resulted in a balance of US$ 6.032 billion, while the financial turnover generated a deficit of US$ 291 million, according to figures disclosed on Wednesday (4) by the Central Bank of Brazil.<\/p>\n
The exchange flow in March practically repeated the February result, when the balance was US$ 5.705 billion, but was much lower than the US$ 12.66 billion in March last year. In the accumulated result for the first quarter, the exchange flow reached US$ 18.728 billion, little more than half the US$ 35.592 billion in the same period in 2011.<\/p>\n
The Central Bank informed that the exchange position of banks in the free market was US$ 5.794 billion positive last month. The value is much lower than the US$ 10.219 billion that banks had in the till in the previous month, when they bet more on appreciation of the North American currency than on the Brazilian real.<\/p>\n
The monetary authority also disclosed that over US$ 8.886 billion entered the country\u2019s international reserves account in March, as a result, mostly, of daily interventions of the Central Bank in the spot market. With this, reserves rose from US$ 356.33 billion to US$ 365.216 billion in late March.<\/p>\n
