Brasília – Brazil finances part of its international account deficits with direct foreign investments (money from aboard that goes into production, as opposed to speculation). In August, direct foreign investments totaled $5.006 billion, the highest for the month since August 2004.

Direct foreign investments for the year, January to August, are now at $44.085 billion – another record for the period.

The Central Bank estimates that total direct foreign investment for 2011 will reach $60 billion.
