RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Brazil is not immune from an eventual recession in the United States, Brazilian Central Bank President Henrique Meirelles said here Thursday.

In a seminar entitled "What to Expect from 2008," Meirelles said the growth of the gross domestic product (GDP), which has been boosted especially by the domestic market this year, may suffer from the economic crisis in the U.S.

"Up to 80 percent of Brazil's external sales are destined directly to the U.S. market," explained Meirelles, "The effect of exports to other countries is much more softened."

However, he stressed that exports to the U.S. represent only 17 percent of Brazil's exports, and that local economic growth has been influenced by the rises in incomes, employment and profits of companies.

He highlighted that the high level of the country's international reserves, currently estimated at 175 billion U.S. dollars, works as a safety net in uncertain times.

Since Tuesday, the threat of recession in the U.S. has been reinforced by the announcement of the latest negative effects of the subprime market crisis in several financial institutions, a fall in economic indices and a rise in oil prices
