Having passed through the 2008‐09 economic crisis relatively unscathed, Brazil is enjoying a period of rapid economic growth. On October 7, 2010, the Brazilian National Confederation of Industry (CNI) predicted that Brazilian gross domestic product would grow 7.5% in 2010. Such a positive economic prediction, together with Brazilian government policy keeping domestic interest rates in the 10% range, act as a strong magnet for international money seeking healthier investment returns than are currently available within many Western economies.
