Petrobras and economic policy in Brazil under president Rousseff
08/15/2011
Petrobras is losing ground in oil exploration and growth as economic policies of the Rousseff government focus on lowering unemployment in Brazil. Unemployment in Brazil is at 5.4% in 2013 but growth has slowed sharply to about 1%. Government policy requires Petrobras to buy from Brazilian companies to increase employment. The share price of Petrobras has fallen sharply in recent years down to where its market capitalization in less than the Colombian oil company. Oil production is not keeping up with growth in the economy.

Financial markets: Hit me baby one more time
Economist 08/13/11
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
