Lula says US criss is 30x worse than 1998 Asian meltdown. Then Brazil almost broke down. So far we are facing the crisis without problems.

Than he goes second gear:
In 2003, we had US$ 30bn in reserves of which US$ 16bn were from the IMF. In fact there were only US$14bn
We paid all that and have US$200bn today.

Grew 5,4% last year, and will continue growing, 2008 and 2009.
