klaser, do you know why Brazilian interest rates, especially after inflation, are so much higher than not just places like the US, but also places like Latin America? i can understand why Brazil rates are higher than the US, but why are they so much higher than rates in Peru, Mexico, etc?

btw, wrt my previous post to you, it seems Brazil doesn't really need to export any manufactured goods as long as their commodity exports are so strong. maybe a commodity-based economy isn't good for increasing per-capita income, but if commodities remain strong, it is hard to see how the current situation is bad for BRL.
