Free AccessMNI DATA: Brazil Trade Slides Jan-Nov
BRASILIA(MNI) - Brazilian's total trade declined by almost 5% in the first
11 months of the year compared to the same period of 2018, fuelling a blow-out
in its current account deficit, Economy Ministry data show.
Total Jan-Nov trade fell to $370.6 billion, from $388.2 billion, with
exports declining by 6.8% drop and imports falling 2.1%.
Political and economic crises elsewhere in Latin America, and a squeeze on
world trade as the U.S. faces off in a dispute with China, are now affecting
Brazil, said economist Jose Luis Oreiro, a professor at the University of
Brasilia, who noted that the weak Brazilian real, which ended November at 4.24
to the dollar from 3.8 at the beginning of 2019, had also sapped demand for
imports.
Business fell with eight of the top ten Brazilian trading partners. Trade
only increased with the United States, by 4.3%, and with Japan, which saw an
increase of 7.2%. Increased commerce with the U.S. was driven by a 5.9% rise in
imports from the world's biggest economy, while Brazil boosted exports to Japan
by 18%.
China remains Brazil's largest trading partner, but Insper University
recently said that the South American nation's exports to the Asian giant will
be hit as Beijing buys more U.S. farm products under a deal with Washington.
Brazil's current account deficit could jump to 3% of GDP this, year, the
National Confederation of Industry said this week.
