the prospects of good trade opportunities motivated this veritable rediscovery of Brazil.

*European investors rediscover Brazil*

*The EU leads direct investments in the country and accounts for 22.6% of exports*

Political and economic stability, the best financial situation in over three decades, recent discoveries of huge oil reserves in the pre-salt oceanic layer, the 2014 FIFA World Cup and last but not least, the 2016 Olympics. The worst economic crisis since the 1929 Stock Market Crash is still lingering in many countries, but around here, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has resumed growth, unemployment has fallen (and rapidly) – civil construction alone generated 45,000 jobs – the country became a creditor to the International Monetary Fund (providing US$ 10 billion) and domestic consumption has been growing persistently for seven years. Brazil is finally a hotspot for foreign direct investments and a safe haven for capital seeking financial solidity.

This veritable rediscovery of Brazil was motivated by the prospects of good trade opportunities. The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which had been setting new records in the two pre-crisis years (US$ 45 billion in 2008), also promises new advances. The European Union tops the list of countries keen on taking advantage of the opportunities emerging in the first half of 2010. Even in this year of crisis, the EU was the leading direct investor in Brazil and the largest destination of its exports (absorbing 22.6%) from January to August.
