Brazil is touted to emerge as one of the stronger
economies of the world in next few years. This has put the country in a very
powerful position at the global belvedere. The fact that Petrobras has emerged
as the second most profitable company in America is an evidence enough to
support the statement.
This isn’t something which Brazil is experiencing
for the first time. There was a time when Brazil was among the most successful
economies in the world. But due to some external circumstances and unfortunate
upheavals, there was a lull in the economy. But the turnaround has already
begun, says Sergio Machado, ex-President of Transpetro.
American President Obama’s recent visit to Brazil
and Dilma Rousseff’s visit to China is a clear indication that Brazil is
looking towards an array of prospects and the country must be prepared to make
the most of these opportunities.
Brazil, due to its diversified set of advantages
seems to be a better prospect than big economies like China and Russia at
various levels. It is the country with largest arable land and will soon become
a major supplier of oil and ethanol.
A major reason for such great prospects of Brazil
is because of political stability and its glorious history. Sergio Machado
draws an analogy between the good times that are to follow and the ones that
existed. He remarks that both the times, there was a coming together of various
intelligent minds and visionaries who, wither their esteemed leadership, would
take Brazil towards unparalleled success.
