Gov't adopts new measures to halt foreing capital outflow

Aug/28/98 at 08h45 am ET

Sao Paulo, 28 - The government adopted three new measures yesterday aimed at
restricting the foreign capital outflow, attracting more investments and protecting the
international reserves. From now on, no income tax will be charged on foreign capital
fixed-yield funds, on the conversion of foreign loans into investments and on loan
remittances staying in the country for less than eight years. The first measure will be
valid from September 1st through March 31st, 1999. The others take effect today
and have no date scheduled to be altered. Before the government's decision, the
income tax rate was at 15%. On Wednesday (26), foreign capital fixed-yield funds
totaled US$5.5bn. As on July 31st those investments amounted to US$7.8bn, it
means that in August alone US$2.3bn have already left the country. (O Estado de S.
