Economic policy errors in Russia and Brazil
05/03/2015
Brazil raises interest rates to over 13%, as it faces critical needs of private companies financing dollar based debt. This is likely to lead to further economic contraction and higher inflation. Inflation is at over 8% in 2015. Russia lowered the high interest rates ratcheted up to 17% to tackle a ruble collapse in 2015. Interest rates were lowered to but this move also aggravates inflation which is now at close to 17%.

The Economist on the Brazilian economy's perilous situation in 2015-2016
04/05/2015
Dollar debts for Brazil went up from $100 billion in 2010 to $250 billion in 2015, according to BIS data. Even more in local currency terms which went up from 210 billion reais to 650 billion reais. BNDES and Caixa Economic Federal, 2 state owned banks made up 35% of bank loans in Brazil in 2009, by 2015 this went up to 55%, making Brazil's banking system a fiscal operation overly dependent on the state. With rates as high as 16%, the state banks provide subsidized loans to firms at 5.5%. Monetary policy is difficult for the central bank as increasing rates to shore up the declining real would hurt the economy, which is expected to contract by 1.5% by official estimates, but higher according to other private estimates. The declining real, drought affecting hydroelectric generated power prices, and lower export revenues, in addition to high debt interest payments exceeding 6% of GDP, are leading to low or no economic growth for 2015-2016. This comes at a time of corruption issues and ratings one notch above junk for state oil company Petrobras, which itself needs government support.

A Geographic Shift in Brazil Mining Leaves a Storied Region Hurting
WSJ 12/19/2016
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.
