Brazil has fallen victim to the global financial system’s risk-off meltdown, and its policy response options aren’t great, writes Three_Guineas.
Brazil’s Bovespa stock-market index has declined almost 40% since the beginning of this year. It rose around 30% in 2019. It is the world’s worst-performing major equity index so far this year, in dollar terms, as of March 12, according to Reuters.
The real has weakened by over 16% against the dollar so far this year, hitting all-time lows for this version of Brazil’s currency, which was introduced in 1994. It declined around 6% against the U.S. dollar in 2019. Brazil’s economy ministry reduced its 2020 GDP growth forecast to 2.1% from 2.4% on March 11. It maintained its 2.5% growth forecast for the next three years.
