Fitch Downgrades Brazil To Speculative Level Editorial Photo

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 16th December 2015: The risk rating agency Fitch downgraded the level of Brazil's investment to speculative level. Devaluation of the real, political crisis, unemployment and corruption scandals that reach the government of Dilma Rousseff contributed to the downgrade. With the strong devaluation of the Real (BRL), some industry sectors linked to exports were favored and even in time of crisis are managing to achieve economic growth.
