Brazil in the vision of Americans (Eike Batista CBS)
EBX The group, controlled by billionaire Eike Batista , has made an offer on the Canadian Ventana Gold of which is already among the major shareholders with a share around 20%. Ventana is committed in particular in certain mining exploration projects in Colombia and was rated by EBX about 1.5 billion Canadian dollars ($ 12.63 Canadian per share). But who is
Eike Batista? A Brazilian businessman fifty "self-made" that the magazine Forbes ranked as the eighth richest man in the world in its 2010 rankings, thanks to a personal fortune of 27 billion dollars. Wealth linked to a number of companies he started quite recently (as OGX , firm oil and gas exploration founded in 2007 and listed the following year) and last year alone grew by 19.5 well billion (that has made the rich ever more able to increase their personal wealth in 2009 around the world) and at least another 1.4 billion this year with the landing on the Brazilian list last March, also though with a lower rating of 3.9 billion short of expectations, of OSX (operating in the shipbuilding industry).
precisely the disappointing reception of OSX by mercato ha indotto Batista a cancellare la già programmata Ipo di EBX che quindi continuerà a crescere in modo organico o tramite acquisizioni prima di riprovare uno sbarco sul listino. “Il valore complessivo delle nostre aziende (tra cui anche un’altra azienda quotata, LLX , attiva nel settore della logistica, ndr) è ora di 44 miliardi di dollari” aveva rivelato Batista a metà aprile scorso aggiungendo di non essere interessato a portare in borsa OSX prima che tale valore raggiunga “i 100-120 miliardi di dollari”. Nel frattempo non è detto però che Batista intenda debba stare con le mani in mano, evidentemente.

Still, it was quite content to assess the economic recovery. "Everything indicates that the Brazilian economy is not growing as fast as the wonders of the market. In 2010, we have a pretty good growth. But there is some precipitation to imagine that the economy was already growing at a rate of 6%. In reality, the economy grows by 4.5% per year which is a moderate and healthy, because it is driven mainly by investment, gross fixed capital formation (gross fixed), "he said. economist, one of the creators of the industrial policy of the government and main architect the measures taken to mitigate the effects of global crisis in the country, has recognized the strong impact of regression on the general national economic development, but said that now, what matters is "result in the margin" in comparison Quarterly. "The result of 2009 GDP, close to zero, shows significativa riduzione delle esportazioni, a causa della crisi, significativo calo degli investimenti, che ora viene invertita, e dimostra che è stato il mercato interno, i consumi, che ha evitato una recessione più grave in Brasile, "ha detto. Poi ha aggiunto: "Il risultato dell'ultimo trimestre dell'anno, rivela che l'economia sta crescendo ad un tasso vicino a 4,5% all'anno." "E 'una crescita molto sana, guidati da investimenti, che hanno registrato un aumento significativo del terzo e quarto trimestre. Penso che questo primo trimestre of 2010 the growth rate in Brazil is still close to 4.5%, "he said. The relatively moderate pace, according to the president of BNDES, allows some confidence in the sustainability of growth, especially if these investments will continue to lead this evolution. "This allows you to control the so-called 'output gap', the control or the ability to give." He noted that the strong increase in the second half of 2009, to a large extent, the stimulus of government policy, economic, particularly in supporting investment Program (PSI), "he said. The program, led by the BNDES, reduced to almost half the interest rates charged for the marketing of industrial machinery and equipment. "This effect has helped to mitigate the fall in GDP and the fall in investment, and contributed to a stronger and earlier recovery of productive investment, which is very healthy to sustain growth over the medium term." While not ignoring the inflation risk, Coutinho argued today that the growth it is not anchored in household consumption, but for business investment and government. "It 's clear that inflationary pressures are natural seasonal. But you can grow without inflationary risks, especially because there is a certain amount of spare capacity. And 'Consider also that, according to IBGE, the growth is still at a moderate pace , 4.5%, which does not inspire great concern point structurally. "
