DJ Brazil Posts Nov 1-20 Forex Inflows Of $1.48 billion76 days ago
SAO PAULO (Dow Jones)--Brazil posted a much more modest net foreign-exchange inflow in the first 20 days of November, after a month of robust inflows in October, the central bank reported Wednesday.
The bank said net foreign-exchange inflows in the Nov. 1-20 period totaled $1.48 billion. By comparison, for the entire month of October, inflows totaled $14.6 billion. The bank didn't offer Oct. 1-20 figures.
According to foreign-exchange traders, the decline in net inflows was prompted by the government's decision late in October to place a 2% financial transactions tax on incoming foreign investments in fixed-income accounts and stocks.
Net investment inflows during the Nov. 1-20 period totaled $171 million, while the country registered net trade inflows of $1.31 billion, the central bank said.
The central bank said the net trade result for the November period was based on $7.98 billion in export receipts and $6.67 billion in import payments overseas. Incoming investment, meanwhile, totaled $15.3 billion, while investment outflows totaled $15.15 billion.
Wednesday's foreign-exchange flow figures brought Brazil's year-to-date net inflows to $24.3 billion.
In 2008, Brazil posted net foreign exchange outflows of $983 million, compared with a record $87.45 billion in net inflows reported for 2007. The annual net foreign exchange outflows in 2008 were the first posted by the country since 2002.
