Brazil - a 2013 market snapshot and the outlook for 2014 and beyond

2014 will finally arrive and we will see the real impact, in performance terms, of the FIFA World Cup to be held next year in Brazil. Apart from the specific impact that this event will have in the host cities and in other secondary cities, the overall macroeconomic scenario for Brazil remains modest for next year, with growth forecasted of 2.5% for the national GDP and a similar inflation rate (5.8%).
