Inflation in Brazil
Brazil, the largest country in South America and the fifth largest country in the world, has an economy that has been one of boom and bust. Its development has been determined in succession by the world demand for sugarcane, rubber, and coffee. The country began a drive to develop its vast resources and to industrialize. Nevertheless, Brazil is still a primarily an agricultural country, with severe economic problems.
From Portugal's discovery in 1500 until the late 1930s the economy relied on the production of primary products, such as sugar cane for exports.

A first assessment of the country's economic performance in the period can be made by noting that the yearly GDP growth rates averaged 7.15 percent in the fifties, 6.12 percent in the sixties, 8.84 percent in the seventies, 2.93 percent in the eighties, and 1.60 percent in the years 1990-95. For a comparison, one should note that the United States economy grew at a yearly average rate of 3 percent in the period 1960-92.
