📉 Record devaluation of the real in 2024 💰
The Brazilian real has accumulated a devaluation of 21.52% against the dollar in 2024, marking the worst performance since the pandemic crisis of 2020, when the currency lost 22.40%.
🔍 What is behind the fall?
Fiscal risk: The lack of confidence in the sustainability of Brazilian public accounts.
Capital flight: Foreign investors withdrawing resources in search of safer assets.
Rising US interest rates: Monetary tightening in the US makes the dollar more attractive globally, penalizing emerging currencies.
Risk aversion: The global scenario has favored assets considered "safe havens" such as the dollar and gold.
⚠️ Why does it matter?
The devaluation of the real has a direct impact on Brazilians' pockets:
Increase in import costs and in products such as fuel and food.
Pressure on inflation and higher credit prices.
🔮 What to expect?
As long as external and internal factors do not improve, the trend of aversion to emerging markets may continue to put pressure on the currency.
