Webcast: Growth Prospects - Online

08:00 (San Francisco) / 11:00 (New York) / 13:00 (São Paulo) / 16:00 (London)

According to data from the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica (IBGE) in the past quarter Brazil´s economy grew 1.5% against the previous one. In 2012, GDP growth was a modest 0.9%. Brazil´s economic slowdown combined with recent political unrest have contributed for a more cautious look from international investors to potential opportunities in the country. To help us better understand the economic scenario of Brazil today and the impact on long term investments, we are pleased to invite you to join us in ABVCAP´s next Webcast.
