Last week I have made a research regarding high yield bonds and found out that the Brazilian economy has the highest real interest rate in the world. Being curious I decided to research further into the Brazilian Stocks and Bonds Exchanges.
When I learned about Brazil in the past I often thought of high inflation, an economy in recession and a weak financial environment. After rating company Moody’s downgraded the Brazil to BB- in 1989 the consequences were imens. However in the last decade the situation has dramatically changed and nowadays Brazil is the continent’s most important economy and is becoming one of the most influent economies in the world. The Brazilian currency Real is the most valuated compared to the dollar for three consecutive years and the Brazilian Stock Market rallied in 2009 almost 90%.
On the most important Brazilian Stock Exchange Bovespa investors can buy, sell and rent stocks, fonds and derivatives while the BM&F trades agriculture futures. Both exchanges have been merged some months ago into BM&FBOVESPA.
The spectrum of invest vehicles is rich and very well and closely regulated by the CVM (Comissao de Valores Mobiliarios).
As a foreign investor I can basically apply the same investments as a local investor, however I must appoint a local representative in Brazil to be the responsible for my accounting. As far as taxes are concerned foreign investors are exempted from tax unless they are living in tax-free country.
