Monthly and long-term Brazil Exchange Rate data: historical series and analyst forecasts curated by FocusEconomics.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work is to analyze the relationship between the real exchange rate and the productivity of the industry in the short and long terms. In order to test the new-developmental hypothesis that a higher level of the real exchange rate is related to a greater dynamism in the productivity of the industry, a mathematical model of this theoretical relationship is developed and an econometrically estimated Non-Linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (NARDL). The results found are unprecedented, since they demonstrate the existence of a positive relationship between a real devaluation of the effective exchange rate and the growth in labor productivity of Brazilian industry in the long run. In addition, the work was able to demonstrate an existing asymmetry of the effect of (de) valuation on productivity, that is, the estimates showed that devaluation positively affects the productivity of Brazilian industry when compared to the negative effects of an appreciation on productivity.

ABSTRACT This paper deals with the evolution of the currency mismatch in the Brazilian economy in the last two decades, with the aim of assessing the vulnerability of the economy to an exchange rate devaluation, through the balance sheet effect. We highlight the deep changes in the structure of the Brazilian external liabilities during that period. The main change was the radical fall in the net external debt, which turned from highly positive to negative. However, this reflects only the public sector position, since private external debt remained highly positive. To go further into our analysis, we subtracted the hedge operations through derivatives contracts from the primary currency mismatch. We then arrived at the conclusion that not only the effective private sector currency mismatch is quite lower than could be thought by looking only at the International Investment Position data, but also that it has diminished substantially in the last 5 years. Therefore, the risk of an important balance sheet effect as a consequence of a devaluation is lower than currently estimated.

ABSTRACT This paper reviews the effects of Plano Real’s macroeconomic policies on agriculture and discusses the new perspectives open after the strong devaluation of our currency in January 1999. Brazilian agriculture was severely affected by the combination of high interest rates - overvalued exchange rate. In addition, it has had to face the problems of excessive reduction in import tariffs, of financed imports and of low economic growth rates in recent years. Some favorable changes in international trade offset, at least partially, the problem of currency overvaluation. Brazil has always been recognized as having a strong comparative advantage in agriculture. The devaluation which occurred, beginning in January 1999, opens better perspectives for the country to exploit its competitiveness in international markets.

ABSTRACT The author begins by asking why Brazilian policymakers opted to target the exchange rate to stabilize inflation when this strategy had already failed in Mexico. The answer: it was no longer possible to accommodate the country’s high inflation rate through the pervasive use of price indexation and a competitive exchange rate policy. Under conditions of high inflation, the anchoring of the exchange rate within the Real Plan was the quickest route toward price stability. However, policy success also required deep fiscal adjustment, and traditional Brazilian politics stubbornly resisted the necessary tax reforms. In contrast to Mexico, where the peso crash was fueled by reckless private sector spending and borrowing, Brazil’s January 1999 devaluation was triggered by chronically high fiscal deficits. Brazil’s rapid recovery under a flexible currency regime suggests that the macroeconomic fundamentals are back on track; the challenge now lies in the crafting of a viable pro-reform political coalition that can cut through the numerous parochial interests that converged to provoke the 1999 devaluation.
