Brazil the World’s 6th Largest Economy

Since 1990, the poverty rate in Brazil has halved, declining on average by 1.2% a year. This year Brazil’s economy is forecast to grow by 3.6%. Brazil is on track to overtake Britain to become the sixth largest economy in the world.
With a GDP per person, at around $11,000, Brazilhas been growing at an average annual rate of 1.7% since 1990. Nevertheless, despite these government led initiatives further action is needed. 8.5% of Brazil’s population still live on less than $1.50 a day.
