"There is no legal risk in the country" - Dilma Rousseff, September 2013
According to Warren Buffett, "you will never know who is swimming naked until the tide goes out." And for the recent years, the tide has definitely gone out. After the economic recovery experienced up to 2010 – primarily thanks to the fact that the world has not ended – all countries have been fighting against significant factors that have been limiting their growth. And in Brazil things are not different... but magnified. We achieved an outstanding growth in 2010 and, in the following years, disappointments and more disappointments.
