Brazil is More Than Soccer and ‘Carnival’
July 24, 2009
1
2
Brazil has made great strides under current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, commonly known as Lula. Lula took office on January 1, 2003 and he has, since being in office, run a very orthodox fiscal policy. The country has maintained fiscal and trade surpluses for the better part of his presidency.
3
Brazil’s highly capable Central Bank has followed a very strong monetary policy. They have maintained high levels of real interest rates, which prevented the economy from overheating and creating an over-expansion of credit – unlike the policies of others like the Federal Reserve.
4
In late April, the Brazilian Central Bank cut their interest rate from 11.25% to 10.25%. This leaves them plenty of room to cut interest rates further, if necessary, to stimulate the Brazilian economy. Again, this distinguishes the Brazilian Central Bank from the Federal Reserve and others, who have left themselves virtually no room to cut interest rates further.
5
Also, Brazil has long pursued a strategy of achieving energy independence from foreign oil. Brazil started its own ethanol program – based on its rich sugar crop and offshore oil exploration using deep-sea drilling methods. It’s achieved a remarkable degree of energy self-sufficiency – again setting it apart from much of the rest of the world.
5
Brazil, unlike the United States and other economies, is not over-levered – It has prudent fiscal and monetary policies, balanced and diversified trade, along with a coherent energy policy. It leaves the country well positioned for the future.

When Tokyo residents of a certain age want to go shopping,
they head for Sugamo, in the north of the city. The main street,
Jizo-dori, features a variety of shops selling food, sweets,
medicaments, bits and bobs and, most notably, a huge choice
of woolly underwear in bright red, a favourite colour with the
elderly because it is thought to be lucky and health-giving.
The local McDonald’s has a section with seats designed for
older people, and a karaoke bar offers songs from the good old
days. For spiritual refreshment, there is the four-centuries-old
Kogan-ji Buddhist temple, where visitors buy incense and pray
for a long life–and a quick and easy exit.
2
Jizo-dori has a long tradition, but businesses everywhere now realise that in future there will be a lot more older folk with money to spend. In most rich countries the baby-boomers born after the second world war were more numerous, better educated and better paid than any generation before them. When those boomers retire, they will want to do it in style, plastic surgery and all. This group of customers can be persuaded to buy a plethora of products, from travel and financial services to mobile phones, medicines and comfy beds.
3
Some businesses are already adjusting their ranges to cater for the grey market. However, this is a tricky market to tackle. Advertisers are often accused of trying too hard to sell to the young when much of the spending power is now concentrated in older age groups, but it is not a simple matter of moving “from rocking horse to rocking chair”. When companies try to cater for older customers, they do not always get it right. Attempts to “seniorise” ads, for example, have mostly drawn a poor response because their targets think of themselves as younger than they really are. That refusal to settle for being “old” will only get stronger as the baby-boomers start turning 65.
4
But the hardest thing about selling to older people is that they are such a heterogeneous group. Someone in his 70s may be in frail health and living in an old folks’ home; or he may be running for president of the United States, as John McCain did last year. There are many shades of grey.
