More to Brazilian economy than sports

An investment expert says the Olympics and World Cup are not the major drivers expected to boost Brazil's economy.

經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷，巴西央行下調(diào)今年經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)預(yù)期。2014世界杯和2016里約熱內(nèi)盧奧運(yùn)會(huì)，兩次重要的體育盛事成為巴西展現(xiàn)國(guó)家形象和經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)成就的絕好機(jī)會(huì)。讓巴西成為全世界爭(zhēng)相談?wù)摰慕裹c(diǎn)。這既是機(jī)遇更是挑戰(zhàn)，如何利用好體育盛事，從而獲得更多的利益。

I would say that Brazil has today pretty stable regulatory framework and I think investors in end of the day they do recognize that.And I think Brazil is pretty different from other emerging markets,like Russia or even China that...

How so?Why?Why is Brazil different and perhaps even more lucrative an investment place?

Well,I was making the point of our regulatory frameworks so I am thinking investors they do have the trust that the rules will not be changed over the course,the life of the investment.You ask me about the private equity international firms.They are paying a lot of attention to Brazil.Some of them,they are hiring the local teams.And I believe the local form will be and to be or the right form will be and to be there.If you do it from abroad,I think you are gonna take a lot of risks on the investments.

Even if you look from the bottom-up,a company rather than the overall economy,we can't escape the fact that Brazil is gonna to be hosting major sports evet.And that's going to prompt big socio-economic changes.It could be a catalyst for all sorts of things,it's going to put Brazil on the map like it has never been before.That's gonna change Brazil.

You are right.I think the major changes are already behind us.As we were talking to them during a panel here at a L business school,they are worrying number of Brazilians,millions of Brazilians that for the first time,they got a formal job.For the first time,they got a bank account because of the formal job.With the bank accout access to credit,and access to consumption,I think this is done,right?I think the Olympic games and World Cup will help and we will keep improving the economy because of that.Well,I don't think that this is the major drive for the Brazilian growth moving forward.
