Everybody stimulated. China put $576 billion in the Chinese stimulus. Now economy is back from stimulus and adjusting. Brazil stimulated too. Needed to get Dilma elected. Brazil also coming out of that stimuls thing 2011. Note also that now Brazil it is finding its growth rate post stimulus. Lower interest rates and infrastructure package. China post $576 billion stimulus is finding its growth rate by investing abroad to suck imports will make sure economy will continue growing. Those are the tow cases where Brazil and China have weapons in their arsenal to foster growth Chinese economic stimulus program From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The stimulus includes plans to rebuild areas damaged by the 2008 earthquakes. [1] The 2008–2009 Chinese economic stimulus plan ( simplified Chinese: ????????; traditional Chinese: ????????; pinyin: Kuòdà Nèixu Shíxiàng Cuòshi) is a RMB¥ 4 trillion (US$ 586 billion) stimulus package announced by the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China on 9 November 2008 as an attempt to minimize the impact of the global financial crisis on the world's second largest economy. [2] [3] Critics of China's stimulus packet have maintained that it has made matter worse by pumping excessive investments into an economy which already was overheated and marked by overcapacity and overinvestment. On June 2009, the World Bank raised its growth forecast in China for 2009 from 6.5% to 7.2% amid signs that the economy is doing better than expected, which has been helped by the stimulus package. But it says the country's exports are still down, as the rest of the world struggles with the global recession. It was previously predicted in March 2009 that the Chinese economy would grow by 6.5% in 2009, several percentage points down on 2008's growth.

Brazil: southern spring has started? signs that the wintry economic conditions in the southern hemisphere giant are giving way to spring. First, there were stronger retail sales and jobs growth. Then, there were signs of an expansion in gross domestic product in June and now a thawing of the blighted industrial sector. Brazil: southern spring has started? August 20, 2012 9:46 pm by Joe Leahy In Brazil there are more signs that the wintry economic conditions in the southern hemisphere giant are giving way to spring. First, there were stronger retail sales and jobs growth. Then, there were signs of an expansion in gross domestic product in June and now a thawing of the blighted industrial sector. This from Itau: The FGV’s (Fundacao Getulio Vargas) index of manufacturing confidence rose 1.5% in August from July seasonally-adjusted, recovering from drops in June and July. The “current situation” component climbed 3.1%, which bodes well for activity in the short term. Expectation about the future fell 0.2%. Capacity utilisation rose to 84%, from 83.7%. It is dangerous to read too much into temporary data. The government, in particular, has pumped up the auto sector with one-off tax breaks that have now apparently run their course. Also, Brazil’s trading partners, such as China, are looking weaker rather than stronger. But if the government of President Dilma Rousseff can pull off a recovery amid the global gloom, it will have a chance of winning back for Brazil its old favourable reputation among investors. From an investors’viewpoint, equally as important as any recovery, though, will be for the authorities to follow up with progressive reforms to encourage investment and for the government to avoid further ad hoc tinkering with tools such as the exchange rate. Brazil will need to show investors not only that it needs them but it likes them too.
