Hi DD! "blaming the exchange rate makes a good scapegoat for other problems that affect manufacturing production, problems such as labor productivity, infrastructure, supply chain and economic growth in major trading partners." Brazil hit the head on the ceiling and is blaming exchange rate. See businesses and people pile up in São Paulo which is the ONLY city in the country that works better than the rest. Then everything: traffic/airports grind to halt since it was not built to be the sole center of the whole country! Imagine if the US had only NYC as the commerce, industry banking and logistics center. It is so silly! Curitiba airport can't be used by a fully loaded B747 cargo. Needs to extend the runway. They've been bickering about that that for decade. A Jumbo can only take off half loaded. As a result te load is put into a truck and sent to São Paulo. It is worse, the airlines and Infraero (the public utility that owns the airports) have been discussing for the last 20 years to install no-visibility systens in the airports. Airports close during winter for hours!! Brazilian airports will have system for no-visibility landing airportinfraexpo.com.br
