Brazil , Russia ,India and China.It is typically referred to as “the BRICSs” or “the BRIC
countries “or “the BRIC Economies” or the “Big Four”.The countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China are four of
the biggest emerging economies today. In 2001, Goldman Sachs had predicted that , these countries
would become bigger than the six most-industrialized nations in dollar terms by the year 2050.
Now, things have changed to such an extent, that the prediction has been moved closer to year 2025.

How does it affect Brazil?
• Stock market volatility.• Financial institutions exposed to the debt will write
it down, affecting their bottom line.• Borrowing will get costlier as interest rate will
remain high.• As a result, spending will be less leading to a
longer recession.• Weak consumption and spending in Europe spells
trouble for the rest of the world economy, that is struggling to get out of the downturn.

Impact on Brazil
• The Brazilian debate on the future of Europe is still superficial, but has a particular concern for the impact the crisis will have on its growth rate.
• Brazilian companies, already operating in the continent before the crisis, have been revaluating whether it would make sense for them to continue operations.
![Page 38: Impact of european union crisis on brazil](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554c007bb4c905390b8b4ccb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The European crisis has had an impact on Brazil in three different areas:• The spill-over effect from Europe´s trade reduction
with its current number one trading partner, China, now Brazil´s main trading partner, too;
• The decrease in exports to Europe due to protectionist measures; and
• An overall impact of the European crisis in worldwide growth, which has affected the Brazilian GDP, reducing the expected growth from 3.5 percent to 2.5 percent in 2012.4

• When it comes to investments, there has been a dual scenario. The expansion plans of Brazilian companies that were already operating in Europe before the crisis have been adjusted.

What’s being done to avoid the crisis?
• Stronger economies are pushing for stringent spending control guidelines, where a country’s spending will be directly proportional to its economic strength.
• Several options are being discussed, such as, issuance of Euro Bonds, backed by the entire EU.
• Restructuring of debt, with strict austerity measures placed on countries at risk of default.
• Troubled eurozone countries are pledging to cut back government spending to show they can be trusted.

Recovery Plan
• Brazilian government clearly signals its firm belief that oil should serve as a tool to increase its international weight and strengthen ties with key partners, particularly China, USA and Europe.
• The Brazilian experience has proven that crisis have invariably had a short-term negative impact with positive long run results.
![Page 44: Impact of european union crisis on brazil](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554c007bb4c905390b8b4ccb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Recovery Plan• The current crisis should be a new
moment for Brazil to rethink its positioning strategy in the global scene.
• A common agenda for Brazil and Europe for the near future should be developed including
1. Education and immigration2. Trade3. Collective security
![Page 45: Impact of european union crisis on brazil](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554c007bb4c905390b8b4ccb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Recovery Plan
• For every $2 invested in Brazil from Europe, there is $1.5 invested back by Brazil.
• The European crisis has represented a unique opportunity for brazilian capitalism to be more competitive internationally.
• The new Brazil Is entirely dependent on Brazil for growth
![Page 46: Impact of european union crisis on brazil](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554c007bb4c905390b8b4ccb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Conclusion
• Crisis come and go, so do Governments. Policies and institutions should be, however, long lasting. Their strength is essential for longevity. Brazil should look to Europe as a vital partner in building the new world order, with increasing influence over emerging countries, who should take over responsibilities in the international arena.
