Why Brazil?

Brazil is one of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China). It is the only one to have a full democracy and low risks of war, terrorism, SARS and hurricanes.

Morgan Stanley Capital International recently reported that Brazil has become the world’s biggest emerging market, displacing China.

The recent discoveries of major oil reserves are prompting predictions that Brazil could join the world's "top 10" oil producers.

Brazil is unfazed by the financial crisis in the US and Western Europe caused by the collapse of sub-prime mortgages and house prices.

Inflation was 3% last year, well below the official target. This has allowed a steady reduction of interest rates whilst much of the world has seen increases.

Brazil’s benchmark fixed lending rate has fallen from 21% in 2005 to 12.5% in 2007. The government of Brazil expects this to continue falling to 9.5% by 2010.

Foreign investments in new construction and real estate projects in Brazil jumped 35% to US$ 2 billion last year.

he housing deficit in Brazil is estimated at 7.9 million units. The state of Ceará in Northeast Brazil has a deficit of 420,000 homes of which Fortaleza, the capital city of the state, has a deficit of 154,000 homes.

This Graphic shows the number of units sold monthly in Fortaleza in the years of 2006 and 2007 and its evolution (38,9% more in 2008) Specially in the last months.

Ceará and its capital Fortaleza are one of the favorite destination for tourists because apart from all the reasons already given (weather, beaches, people, night life, gastronomy, nature, etc) is also in a privileged geographic location, being at the same distance from Europe and USA (6,5 hours flight from Lisbon or Miami), the closest point of south America to Europe.

Fortaleza is a big city with 2,5 million people, which gives the city a bright and lively culture and leisure options by night or day. The city of Fortaleza has two different coast lines, one facing the east with wide beach and big waves, good for surfing and such sports and another one, facing north, that has very calm waters and nit is very good for swimming and wind-surf or kite-surf.
