In 2010, the world economy continued its recovery trend initiated in the second half of last year, when the coordinated action of central banks and US (United States) and European governments aiming at stabilizing the fi nancial systems and mitigating effects of an aggravating international crisis started to promote economic recovery.

Major developed countries recorded once again an annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. It should be noted the asymmetric nature of such growth within these economies, especially, when including the performance of emerging economies.

Although recording lower volatility than in 2009, fi nancial markets refl ected in the period from May to August an increasing concern regarding certain European countries’ sovereign debt and a gloomy prospect in relation to US economic recovery and sustainability of China performance. As of August, a gradual return of optimism about the evolution of US and Chinese economic activity, coupled with a high liquidity level of the global economy has favored the trajectory of major stock exchange indices.

In this context, a deteriorating supply for various agricultural products and a strong demand by some emerging countries created conditions for the signifi cant rise in agricultural commodity prices in the second half of the year, putting widespread pressures on infl ation and on bringing into line the monetary policy process, both in emerging and developed economies.

In 2010, driven by a benign international scenario and a sound domestic demand Brazil’s economy recorded the strongest annual GDP growth since 1986. It should be noted that current expansion cycle presented in the second half of the year, different growth rates of aggregate regarding aggregate supply and demand, with repercussions on import level and infl ation trajectory, especially in the service sector .

In this scenario, the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom), after holding the target for the basic interest rate at 8.75% p.y. in the fi rst two meetings of the year, made three consecutive increases in subsequent meetings and kept the rate at 10.75% p.y. the last three meetings of the year.

Introduction 11 Additionally, the National Monetary Council (CMN) and the Central Bank’s executive board adopted in December a set of macroprudential measures aimed at improving the regulatory instruments in order to ensure the National Financial System (SFN) stability and allow a steady and sustainable development of the credit market. The most important measures were a rise in reserve requirements and capital requirements for individual persons’ credit operations with maturities of more than 24 months.

Regarding the external trade important measures have been introduced to create more favorable conditions to increase competitiveness for Brazilian exports, while throughout the year the exchange policy management aimed at preventing foreign currency liquidity to induce excessive volatility of the real and imbalances in the exchange market.

Brazil’s economic strengthening resulted in a signifi cant rise in demand for imported goods and services, and increased remittances abroad, thus impacting the current account defi cit, which totaled R$47.4 billion in the year. Conversely, the country’s macroeconomic stability, expressed in downward risk expectations and increasing investment returns, favored the US$99.7 billion net infl ow in the capital and fi nancial account. Balance of payments surplus totaled US$49.1 billion in 2010.

In this context, the acceleration recorded in the 2010 consumer price index was particularly infl uenced by market price behavior, especially food, apparel and service sectors. The Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA) increased 5.91% in the year, remaining within the target range set by the National Monetary Council (CMN) under the infl ation targeting system.

Activity level

In 2010, the Brazilian economy, in a scenario of employment and income recovery, coupled with expanding credit operations and improved business and consumer confi dence levels, registered the strongest annual growth since 1986. In the second half of the year, the current growth cycle showed distinct growth rates for both aggregate supply and demand, thus affecting the level of imports and the infl ation trajectory, particularly in the sector of services.

Gross Domestic Product

According to the Quarterly National Accounts of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), GDP grew 7.5% in 2010. On the demand side, domestic demand contributed with 10.3%, while the external sector contributed with -2.8%. On the supply side, annual increases occurred in the added value of the three sectors of the economy, reaching 10.1% in the secondary segment, 6.5% in the primary and 5.4% under services.

The agricultural sector performance is consistent with the annual growth of 11.6% of the grain harvest and respective increases of 8.5%, 7.7% and 3.8% in the slaughter of cattle, poultry and pigs in the year. The performance of the industrial sector particularly refl ected increases in the mining segment, 15.7%; construction, 11.6%; and manufacturing, 9.7%. The trajectory of the sector of services in the year was driven primarily by the dynamics of the segments of commerce, 10.7%; transportation, storage and postal services, 8.9%; and fi nancial intermediation, insurance, pension and related services, 10.7%. It should be noted that the performance of the fi rst two segments is related to the output of industrial and agricultural sectors.

Under the prism of demand, investments, in line with the performance of the construction and the absorption of capital goods, grew 21.8% in 2010, while household consumption, refl ecting the growth of wages and credit operations, increased by 7%.

The negative contribution by the external sector refl ected the expansion of annual imports, 36.2%, and exports, 11.5%, explained by the distinct pace of growth of Brazilian and international economy.

The analysis at the margin by utilizing seasonally adjusted data shows a GDP slowdown in the second half of 2010, with respective growth rates of 0.4% and 0.7% in the third and fourth quarters of the year, compared to expansion of 2.2% in the quarter ended in March and 1.6% in the quarter ended in June.

Industrial trajectory was driven by the dynamics of manufacturing, 17.3%, and construction, 15.1%, consistent with the trend of increasingly channeling of resources to the real estate fi nancing and infrastructure works in the framework of the Growth Incentive Program (PAC). The production and distribution of electricity, gas and water increased 8.4% in the period, while the mining activity, refl ecting the performance of the iron ore segment, grew 14.7%.

The agricultural sector rose by 5.4% in the fi rst quarter of 2010 in comparison with the same period of the previous year, emphasizing the performance of cotton, corn and soybeans crops.

The sector of services, refl ecting the strengthening of domestic demand, grew 6.2% in the period, emphasizing the expansion under the segments of commerce, 15.3%, and transportation, storage and postal services, 12.5%, partly refl ecting the trajectory of agricultural and industrial sectors. The segment of services of fi nancial intermediation, insurance, pension and related services grew by 9.6%, followed by the expansion under the segments of other services, 3.4%; information services, 2.9%; administration, health and public education, 2.5%; and real estate activities and rental, 1.6%.

16 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 GDP grew 9.2% in the second quarter of 2010 over the same period in 2009. From the perspective of supply, all components registered a positive trajectory in the period. Insofar as the demand is concerned, the dynamics of domestic demand exerted a positive impact of 12.7 p.p., in contrast with the negative contribution of 3.5 p.p. by the external sector.

The analysis of the demand components continues to highlight the importance of domestic demand to the maintenance of the economic growth cycle. Household consumption, boosted by the increase of real wages, improved credit market environment and the persistence of consumer confi dence at high levels, increased 6.4% in the quarter, while the government consumption rose by 5.6%. GFCF, in line with the favorable business confi dence indicators and the trajectory of the construction and capital goods segments increased 28.1% in the period.

I The Brazilian Economy 17 The contribution of the external sector to the GDP performance was still negative. The impact of -3.5 p.p. in the quarter was due to the contributions of exports, 0.8 p.p., and imports, -4.3 p.p., which, refl ecting the persistent domestic economic activity expansion and the sluggish global economic activity, expanded 7.2% and 38.9%, respectively, in the period.

Regarding the supply components, the quarterly GDP performance refl ected the expansion under industrial production, 14.1%; agriculture, 10.4%; and services, 6%. The growth of the agricultural sector refl ected, to a large extent, the expansion of major grain harvests, particularly corn and soybeans.

The industrial performance largely refl ected expansions under construction, 16.6%, consistent with the increased volume of housing fi nancing and the intensifi cation of infrastructure works in the PAC framework, and manufacturing, 14.1%. The production and distribution of electricity, gas and water increased by 10% in the period, while the mining activity, refl ecting the performance of the iron ore segment and the expansion of oil production (crude oil and NLG – natural liquefi ed gas), 6.7%, and gas, 7.3%, increased 16.6%.

The performance of the sector of services, in line with the dynamics of domestic demand, refl ected widespread favorable sectoral results, especially with regard to the sectors of commerce and transportation, and storage and postal services, up, respectively, 12.1% and 11.1% in the quarter. Moreover, it should be highlighted the expansion of fi nancial intermediation, insurance, pension and related services, 10.2%, and information services, 3.5%.

At the margin, the seasonally adjusted GDP grew 1.6% in the second quarter of the year in comparison with the previous quarter. This means the fi fth consecutive increase in this type of comparison, thus ratifying the performance of sectoral antecedent indicators and demonstrating the consolidation of the country’s recovery process. Industry grew 3.6% in the quarter, followed by the agricultural sector, 1.4%; and services, 1.1%. The analysis by demand components reveals recovery in household consumption, which increased 1.1% in the quarter, while government consumption and GFCF rose by 1.8% and 3.9%, respectively. In the period, exports rose 1.2%, and imports, 5.7%, consistent with the growth of domestic demand.

GDP increased 6.7% in the third quarter of 2010 over the same period of the previous year. With regard to supply, the agricultural sector increased by 7% in the period, compared with 10.4% in the quarter ended in June, a result associated with the more modest performance of important grain harvests in the third quarter of the year, such as beans, cassava and orange. The industrial sector grew 8.3%, particularly due to slowdowns in growth rates of manufacturing, from 14.1% to 7.1%, and construction,

18 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 from 16.6% to 9.6%. The sector of services expanded 4.9%, consistent with the impact of the agricultural and industrial trajectory on the commerce and transportation sectors.

On the demand viewpoint, GFCF growth rate closed the quarter at 21.2%. Household consumption and government consumption grew 5.9% and 4.1%, respectively, while exports and imports expanded 11.3% and 40.9%, in the order. In this scenario, the contributions of domestic demand and external sector to GDP growth reached 10% p.p. and -3.3% p.p.in the period.

Seasonally adjusted GDP grew 0.4% in comparison with the second quarter, when it had expanded 1.6% in the same type of comparison. The deceleration at the margin refl ected respective decreases of 1.6% and 0.6% under the agricultural and industrial sectors, and an increase of 0.9% in the sector of services, compared to variations of 1.4%, 3.6% and 1.1% in the quarter ended in June. The negative result of the agricultural sector was partly linked to the favorable impact of the soybean crop in the second quarter of the year, while the slowdown in the industrial sector was due to the decline of the manufacturing industry. The analysis of domestic demand components reveals expansion of household consumption, 1.8%, and GFCF, 3.1%, and a decrease of government consumption, 0.1%, while, in the external sector, exports expanded 4.2%, and imports, 7.1%.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, GDP increased by 5% over the same period of the previous year. From the supply point of view, the primary sector grew 1.1% in the period, and the industrial sector, 4.3%, highlighting the enhanced dynamics of the mining industry, 14.8%; and construction, 6.2%. The expansion of the sector of services came to 4.6%, highlighting the growth of 11.4% in the segment of fi nancial intermediation, insurance, pension and related services.

From the prism of demand, the GFCF growth rate closed the quarter at 12.3%. Household and government consumption grew by 7.5% and 1.2%, respectively, while exports and imports rose by 13.5% and 27.2%, in the order. In this scenario, the domestic demand and the external sector contributed with respective 6.6 p.p. and -1.5 p.p. to the GDP growth in the period.

The seasonally adjusted GDP increased 0.7% over the third quarter of the year. The slowdown at the margin refl ected respective decreases of 0.8% and 0.3% under the agricultural and industrial sectors, while the sector of services grew 1%. The analysis of domestic demand components reveals expansion under household consumption, 2.5%, and GFCF, 0.2%, and decline of government consumption, 0.3%, while the external sector showed expansion under exports, 3.6%, and imports, 3.9%.

Services

Due to the large and growing participation of the sector of services in the Brazilian GDP, the Getulio Vargas Foundation, in partnership with the Brazilian Central Bank, developed the Service Sector Survey, aiming to anticipate economic trends in that sector. It consists of a monthly survey in which indices are calculated on the basis of responses of the sector’s companies about the current situation and expectations for next months1.

The main research outcome is the Service Confi dence Index (ICS), a summary indicator of the survey, which is the average of the Current Situation Index (CSI) and the Expectations Index (IE-S). The ICS reached an average of 132.5 points in 2010, up from 114.1 points in the previous year. ISA-S and IE-S components closed at, respectively, 119.1 and 146 points. It should be noted that the ICS, after growing by 6.6 points in the year2, reaching 135.5 points in March, followed a downward trajectory until July, when it resumed the growing trend.

I The Brazilian Economy 25 Central Bank Index of Economic Activity

The Central Bank Index of Economic Activity – Brazil (IBC-Br), a monthly indicator available from January 2003, encompasses the trajectory of variables deemed as proxies of economic performance3. It is calculated by estimating the output of three sectors of the economy – agriculture, industry and services. The adherence of this indicator to the actual GDP trajectory confi rms its importance for a better understanding of economic activity, thus contributing to anticipate the implementation of economic policy measures.

The IBC-Br increased 7.8% in 2010, as compared to a 0.7% drop in the previous year. IBC-Br trajectory was not uniform throughout the year. This can be illustrated by the growth decline registered between the months of January and December, from 7.9% to 3.7%, as compared with the same period of the previous year. Insofar as the analysis at the margin is concerned, the seasonally adjusted quarterly comparison revealed a slowdown between the fi rst and the third quarters of the year, as shown by respective growth rates of 2.2%, 1.3% and 0.3%. In the fi nal quarter of the year, the activity index increased by 1.1%, but monthly growth rates declined, closing at 0.5%, 0.4% and 0.1%, respectively.

Trade indicators

The retail activity, refl ecting the growing dynamics of the labor and credit markets, continued to follow an upward trend in 2010. According to the Monthly Trade Survey (PMC) released by the IBGE, expanded retail sales increased 12.2% in the year, the second highest annual growth rate since the beginning of the series in 2003. It should be emphasized the performances of the segments of computer equipment and communications materials, 24.1%; furniture and appliances, 18.3%; construction materials, 15.6%; cars, motorcycles, spares and parts, 14.1%; and books, newspapers, magazines and stationery, 12%. With regard to the restricted concept, which excludes the automotive and construction material segments, annual sales expanded 10.9%, the highest growth rate since the beginning of the series in 2001.

Expanded retail sales registered annual expansion in all the fi ve regions of the country. The highest rate occurred in the Central-West, 14.7%; followed by the North, 15.2%; Northeast, 14.8%; South, 12.9%; and Southeast, 12.2%. Additionally, sales increased in all the Federation units, especially in Tocantins, 39.7%; Rondônia, 27.3%; Espírito Santo, 20.3%; Roraima, 19.9%; Mato Grosso, 19.3%; and Paraíba, 19.2%. The lowest growth rate occurred in the Federal District, 7.8%.

28 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 The rice harvest totaled 11.3 million tons, for an annual decline of 10.1%, refl ecting reduction in the cultivated area, 6.3%, and average yield, 4.1%, particularly due to excessive rainfall registered in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

The corn harvest reached 56.1 million tons in 2010. The annual growth of 9.4% refl ected expansion of the average yield, 17.1%, and decrease in the cultivated area, -6.5%. The area reduction was particularly due to the decrease of 15.2% in the cultivated area in the fi rst harvest, which refl ected the discouragement of producers in an environment of depressed prices and high production costs, coupled with adverse weather conditions. On the other hand, the second harvest of the grain was favored by adequate rainfall in major producing regions.

The production of beans totaled 3.2 million tons. The annual drop of 8.5%, refl ecting the impact of adverse weather in both harvest periods, was due to a 16% decrease in the harvested area, in spite of a 9.5% increase in the average yield.

I The Brazilian Economy 37 of goods and services4 and in 7.09% in free prices, compared to 4.74% and 4.13% in 2009, respectively.

The more moderate increase of regulated prices, down from 4.74% to 3.13%, was a consequence of lower increase rates of cooking gas, gasoline, airline tickets, medicine and electricity tariffs, water and sewage, telephone and intercity bus, while the largest free price increases, upward from 4.13% to 7.09%, refl ected the enhanced economic dynamics and the trajectory of food prices, especially beef, milk and dairy products, beans, bakery goods, sugars, eggs and poultry and food out of home.

The variation of the National Consumer Price Index (INPC), calculated by IBGE, reached 6.47% in the year, compared to 4.11% in 2009. This variation, higher than that indicated by the IPCA, is mostly explained by the largest participation of the food and beverage group in the INPC, 30.64%, compared to 23.31% in the IPCA. It should be noted that the INPC is calculated by taking into account the consumption basket of families with monthly income of 1-6 minimum wages, for which the commitment of income on food expenditures is relatively higher.

The Consumer Price Index (IPC), calculated by the Institute of Economic Research Foundation (Fipe)5 also refl ected the accelerated pace of economic activity and the high food price increases, growing 6.40% in 2010, up from 3.65% in the previous year.

Regulated prices

Regulated prices increased 3.13% in 2010, accounting for only 0.92 p.p. of the total IPCA variation in the year. The largest variations occurred for the urban bus items, 7.53%; health insurance, 6.87%; mail, 6.35%; intercity bus, 4.78%; and water and sewage fees, 3.38%; medicines, 3.36%; electricity, 3.05%; and gasoline, 1.67%. Conversely, the items of licensing and road toll dropped, respectively, by 9.53% and 5.82%.

It should be highlighted that the price increase of health insurance plans, ranging from 5.10% in Porto Alegre to 7.17%, in Brasília, exerted an impact of 0.24 p.p. over the IPCA, while the rise of urban bus fares, especially in the city of São Paulo, 17.39%, and Rio de Janeiro, 9.09%, contributed with 0.29 p.p. to the annual IPCA variation. The increase of intercity bus fare accounted for 0.06 p.p. of the IPCA, emphasizing the fare increases in Belém, 17.44%; and Salvador, 7.99%. Additionally, the readjustment of electricity tariffs was observed in nine of the eleven regions covered by the IPCA,

Monetary policy

The IPCA, released by the IBGE, grew 5.91% in the year, remaining in the 2.5% to 6.5% range set for 2010 by the CMN, under the infl ation targeting system. It should be noted that it was the seventh consecutive year that infl ation remained within the range set by the CMN.

According to a preset schedule, the Central Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) held eight regular meetings in the year. In the fi rst two, the basic interest rate target was maintained at 8.75%, the lowest rate in the series begun in 1999; in the following three meetings, Copom decided to increase rates, which, altogether, totaled 200 b.p.; and at the last three meetings, it maintained the target at 10.75% p.y.

In addition to the 2010 Copom decisions, the CMN and the Central Bank’s executive board adopted in December, a set of macro-prudential measures aimed at improving regulatory instruments to ensure the SFN stability and enable the continued sustainable credit market development. The most important measures were the increase in reserve requirements and in capital requirements for loans to individuals with maturities of over 24 months.

At the last Copom meeting in 2010, the Copom considered risk balance less favorable towards achieving a benign infl ation outlook. However, it prevailed among Committee members the understanding that additional time was needed to better assess the effects on price dynamics of macroprudential measures adopted in December, and of higher interest rates that occurred during the fi rst semester.

Monetary aggregates

The average daily balance of restricted money supply (M1) totaled R$279.6 billion in December, noting that the 16.3% annual growth was a result of, respective 15.8% and 16.7% in average balances of currency outside banks and cash deposits. Defl ated by the IPCA, in real terms M1 grew 9.8% this year, conditioned by the evolution of

Considering the end-of-period balance, the restricted monetary base totaled R$206.9 billion in 2010, a R$40.8 billion increase in the year. National Treasury securities net redemption worth R$249.5 billion, and R$75.6 billion net purchases carried out by the Central Bank in the foreign exchange interbank market were the main monetary expansion factors. On the contraction side, reserve requirements fl ow was the most important, with a R$235.5 billion impact in the year, due mainly to increased rates relating to time deposits and additional requirements for cash and time resources. Similarly, operations in the single National Treasury, excluding securities transactions, determined a R$51.2 billion drop, partly associated to a R$600.7 billion tax infl ow. Other headings involved in the Central Bank relationship with the fi nancial system resulted in a R$2.4 billion increase.

With the objective of suiting the fi nancial system liquidity, measures adopted in 2008 during the international fi nancial crisis were reversed. Accordingly, in February 2010, under Circular no. 3,485, the rate of reserve requirements on time deposits was increased from 13,5% to 15% and its compliance demanded exclusively in currency. The rates related to additional requirements on demand and time deposit were increased to 8%, remaining at 10% the rate for savings deposits. The compliance started being demanded exclusively in currency. Both reserve requirement and additional requirement discounts were grouped according to the size of the institution.

Circular no. 3,513, dated 12.3.2010 and rates for reserve requirements on time deposits were increased from 15% to 20%. Relief limits were increased from R$2 billion to R$3 billion to fi nancial institutions with less than R$2 billion reference worth and from R$1.5 billion to R$2.5 billion for those with assets exceeding R$2 billion and less than R$5 billion. Deduction ceiling of amounts related to the acquisition of assets and interfi nancial deposits was reduced from 45% to 36%, and Financial Notes issues were exempted from reserve requirements. On the same date, Circular no. 3,514, dated 12.3.2010, increased the rate for additional requirements on demand and time deposits from 8% to 12%. Deduction limits were increased from R$2 billion to R$2.5 billion for institutions with reference worth of less than R$2 billion, and from R$1.5 billion to R$2 billion for those with assets between R$2 billion and R$5 billion.

In addition, through Resolution no. 3,931, dated 12.3.2010, the CMN increased the guarantee ceiling for deposits and loans protected by the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC), from R$60 thousand to R$70 thousand. It also defi ned the gradual reduction of the funding limit on Time Deposits obtained with FGC Time Deposit with Special Guarantee (DPGE), by 20 p.p. per year as of 2012 so this modality will be ceased in 2016.

National Financial System

Given the monetary stability framework, credit operations were dominant, in the fi nancial intermediation result, in relation to Treasuryoperations. In this context, search for funding sources with a time frame consistent with lengthening the maturity of lending operations. At the same time, macroprudential measures were taken, aiming at improving existing regulatory instruments and thus contributing to the fi nancial system sustainable development.

II Money and Credit 55 The share of credit operations in total banking system assets declined from 35.6% at the end of 2009 to 34.9% in December 2010. The share of treasury operations turned in the steepest decline, from 40.5% to 37.5%, resulting from decreases in participation in securities from 21.4% to 21.1%, and interbank liquidity investments and foreign exchange transactions, from 19.1% to 15.8%. Government securities representativeness in securities portfolio continued decreasing, falling from 60.2% to 56.1% in the year.

Growth in credit operations during the year resulted in signifi cant expansion of fi nancial intermediation revenues. Share of credit revenues increased from 57.4% in 2009 to 58.6% in December 2010, while securities revenues decreased from 40.5% to 34.9% under the same basis of comparison.

Following the 2009 trend, the participation of traditional forms of funding decreased in 2010. Total deposits share – cash, time and savings – increased from 33.7% at the end of 2009 to 31.5% in December 2010, while the joint participation of foreign exchange transactions and interbank liquidity borrowings (repo operations and interbank deposits) grew from 38.8% to 39.1% during the same period.

In order to provide fi nancial institutions with legally secure instrument for medium and long-term funding, Resolution no. 3,836, published in February, ruled on fi nancial bills issuance. They are debt claim promising cash payment, nominal, freely negotiable and transferable, issued by multiple, commercial, savings, and investment banks, fi nancial companies, real estate credit companies, and mortgage companies, with minimum 24 months maturity, not permitting total or partial early redemption. In December, BNDES, the main source of long-term fi nancing to the productive sector, was authorized to issue fi nancial bills.

This new funding instrument allows better matching of maturities between fi nancial institutions’ assets and liabilities, since their periodic payment of income must comply with a 180-day minimum time frame. Up to December 2010 R$26.2 billion were raised through this fi nancial instrument. In December, fi nancial bills issuance became exempt from reserve requirements, which increased its appeal when compared to traditional bank deposit certifi cates (CDB).

Under Circular no. 3,498, dated 6.28.2010, announced in June, in the prudential regulation framework, capital requirement calculation for market risk was changed in order to apply Basle index, aiming at promoting additional capital formation to accommodate losses in fi nancial market volatility periods. This change is equivalent to a required capital base increase, which is the BIS index ratio denominator, so as to protect fi nancial institutions’ assets against interest rates, equities, foreign exchange and commodities variations. Other banks, under the Basle Committee are taking such measure which will become simultaneously effective as of 2012.

56 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 In addition, Circular no. 3,515, of December 3, determined a capital requirement increase applicable to individual persons’ loans and leases with over 24 months contractual maturities. With thisaim, such the Risk Weighting Factor (FPR) of such operations contracted as of December 6, 2010, went up from 100% to 150%, meaning that for their capital requirement will increase from the current 11% to 16.5% of such transactions value, effective as of July 2011. This increase does not apply to the following operations: i) 36-month term payroll-deducted loans; ii) rural credit; iii) housing credit; iv) vehicles fi nancing or auto leasing with maturities between 24 and 36 months, in amounts not exceeding 80% of their value; v) vehicle fi nancing or leasing between 36 and 48 months, in amounts not exceeding 70% of their value; vi) vehicle fi nancing or auto leasing with maturities between 48 and 60 months, with contracts not exceeding 60% of their value; vii) cargo vehicles fi nancing or leasing; and viii) fi nancing with resources coming from Federal Government onlendings of special funds and programs.

Budget, fi scal and tax policy

The Budget Guidelines Law (LDO), which based the development of the Federal Government Budget for 2010 (Law no. 12,017, of August 12, 2009), established a primary surplus target for the consolidated public sector equivalent to 3.3% of the GDP for the year, of which 2.15% over the Fiscal Budget and Social Security, 0.2% in the sphere of Federal and State-Owned Enterprises, and 0.95% in the context of regional governments. The LDO also determined that the surplus could be reduced to R$22.5 billion, to meet the expenditure under the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), and that this value could be increased spending “amounts to be paid” and the excess of the primary surplus target that appeared in 2009.

The maximum rebate expenses supported by the PAC was increased to R$29.8 billion, by means of Law no. 12,182, of December 29, 2009. In addition, Law no. 12,377 of December 30, 2010, authorized special treatment for the Eletrobras Group, excluding it from the calculation of income tax in the public sector. Consequently, the primary surplus target for 2010 was reduced from 3.3% to 3.1% of the GDP.

Regarding measures in the sphere of taxation, the unburdening of IPI was extended for six months, with a zero rate, for capital goods, tractors and trucks, by the Decree no. 7,222; of June 29, 2010, and, for one year, and the one related to the construction products, by the Decree no. 7,394 of December 15, 2010. The IOF tax rate levied on the settlement of foreign currency infl ows into the country, by foreign investors in the fi nancial market (fi xed income), was raised from 2% to 4% through the issuance of the Decree no. 7,323; of April 10, 2010, and 6% by the Decree no. 7,330; of October 18, 2010.

(PPSA), which will be responsible for managing the sharing contracts; and leave for Petrobras the fi nancial activities of exploitation and prospecting of oil and natural gas at the site.

The President vetoed the article that established sharing of revenue from royalties according to the same criteria used for the State and Municipal Revenue Sharing Fund.

Public sector borrowing requirements

In 2010, the consolidated public sector registered a primary surplus of R$101.7 billion. The annual increase of 0.73 p.p. of GDP refl ected the high scores of the Central Government and state enterprises, and the decline in the surplus registered in the state enterprises.

The increase in the Central Government primary surplus reached 0.81 p.p. of the GDP, led to an increase of 0.62 p.p. marked on the Federal Government surplus and a reduction of 0.18 p.p. in the Social Security defi cit.

Central Government revenues, showing an annual increase of 27.1% of revenues of the National Treasury (1.82 p.p. of GDP) totaled R$919.8 billion, highlighting Table 4.1 – Public sector borrowing requirements

Expenditures on personnel and social charges – currently working employees, retirees and pensioners – reached R$166.5 billion, 4.55% of GDP, against R$151.7 billion, 4.76% of GDP in 2009.

The current and capital expenditures totaled R$274.5 billion. It should be noted the annual growth of 43.1% was infl uenced by Petrobras capitalization of R$42.9 billion. Excluding this operation, growth is reduced to 20.7%.

Investment expenditures reached R$47.1 billion, 38% higher than the spending in 2009. Expenditures with the Worker Support Fund (FAT) and welfare benefi ts Social Assistance Law/Lifetime Monthly Income (Loas/RMV), infl uenced by the minimum wage increase, totaled respectively, R$30.3 billion and R$22.2 billion, registering respective increases of 10.5% and 17.4%.

Nominal interest rate, appropriated on an accrual basis, accounted for 5.32% of GDP in 2010, falling in line with the trajectory of the average Selic rate, 0.05 p.p. of the GDP over the year. The nominal defi cit of the public sector totaled 2. 55% of GDP, compared to 3.34% of GDP in 2009. The fi nancing of this result occurred, following a similar pattern to the one observed in the previous year, through expansions of net banking debt, of securities debt, and other sources of domestic fi nancing, which include the monetary base, neutralized, in part, by the reduction recorded in the net external fi nancing.

IV Public Finance 69 Federal securities debt

The federal securities debt outside the Central Bank, estimated by the portfolio position, reached R$1,603.9 billion, 43.6% of the GDP at the end of 2010, compared to R$1,398.4 billion, 43.9% of the GDP in 2009. The annual decline refl ected the net issues of R$36.8 billion, interest incorporation of R$169.1 billion, and the impact of R$0.4 billion due to the appreciation of the real against the dollar.

The securities under the National Treasury responsibility totaled R$2,307.1 billion in December 2010, of which R$703.2 billion is held by the Central Bank and R$1,603.9 billion is held by the market.

Regarding the distribution of securities by the indexing factor, the participation of fi xed-rate securities rose from 33.7% of the total in December 2009 to 37.9% in December 2010, mainly due to net issuances of National Treasury Bills (LTN) and capitalized interest. The share of bonds indexed to the Selic rate, refl ecting net redemptions of Treasury Financing Bills (LFT), decreased from 35.8% to 32.5%, while the share of bonds tied to the exchange rate went from 0.7% to 0.6% as a result of appreciation of the real. The share of securities indexed to the Reference Rate (TR) decreased from 1.2% to 0.8%, and the share of securities tied to price indices, went from 28.6% to

74 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 The outstanding factors of growth in PSND composition in 2010 were the increase of the creditor amount linked to TJLP, in line with the federal government assets growth with the BNDES, compensated by growth in federal government’ securities debt, and growth in the share of fi xed-rate debt. The average maturity of government securities, the most signifi cant part of the PSND, increased from 40.48 months to 40.57 months in the year.

The General Government Gross Debt (GGGD), represented by the debits of the Federal Government, Social Welfare and regional governments, amounted to R$2,011.5 billion in 2010, representing 54.7% of the GDP.

Social Security System

The RGPS registered a defi cit of R$42.9 billion in 2010, the same level of the previous year, representing 1.17% of the GDP, compared to 1.35% of the GDP in 2009. Revenues totaled R$212 billion, rising 16.5% in the period, a result associated, in particular, with the impact of higher salaries on the payroll contributions.

The benefi t expenses totaled R$254.9 billion. The annual increase of 13.3% refl ected, fundamentally, the increases indicated in the average value of benefi ts paid by the Social Welfare, 8.8%, due to the minimum wage increase and benefi ts increase with values above the minimum wage; on the average amount monthly benefi ts paid, 3.2% and the payment of mandatory judicial payments and judicial decisions, 11.1%.

State and municipal fi nances

The collection of the Tax on the Circulation of Mechandises and Services (ICMS) totaled R$269.5 billion in 2010, registering a real growth of 12.1% in the year, considering the IPCA as a defl ator, with emphasis on the dynamism of the electrical, telephone, and fuels and beverages sectors. The steepest increases occurred in Pernambuco, 16.6%; Goiás, 15.8%; Minas Gerais, 15.9%; and Santa Catarina, 15.7%, while the collection in the state of São Paulo, representing 34.2% of the total, grew 12% in the period.

Foreign trade policy

Within the appreciation context of the real and relatively modest global economy recovery, on May 5 the Brazilian government introduced important foreign trade policy measures to create favorable conditions for increased Brazilian exports competitiveness, emphasizing: i) greater agility in federal tax credits return: it states that companies that have exported at least 30% of sales results in the past two years, within 30 days of request will receive 50% of the accumulated PIS/Pasep, Contribution to Social Security Financing (Cofi ns) and IPI in such operations. Exporter must be in business at least for 4 years, be taxed on actual profi ts, use electronic invoice, and hold a record of refused reimbursement requests not exceeding 15% of total requested in the past two years. In the Directive no. 348, of June 16, Ministry of Finance established reimbursement procedure on credits as of debts verifi ed as of April 1, 2010, and in Normative Instruction no.1.060, of 3 August, Brazilian Federal Revenue regulated the matter; ii) export revenues exclusion from total revenues for classifi cation under Integrated System of Tax and Contribution Payments for Micro and Small Businesses (SIMPLES): exemption being equal to R$2.4 million per year limit set for domestic revenue. It is noteworthy that micro and small enterprises account for 1.2% of export value and 48.3% of the number of exporting companies; iii) drawback exemption in the internal market created by Provisional Measure no. 497, of July 27, 2010, converted into Law no. 12.350, of December 20, provides that national inputs used in exports in the period t-1 can be purchased at period t, at zero ICMS rate; iv) within six months abolishes the 40% tax reduction on imported auto parts; v) creation of the Foreign Trade Guarantee Fund (FGCE), managed by BNDES, allowing greater fl exibility in guarantees, covering commercial risk, and payments based on risks taken; vi) setting up of Brazil Export Credit Agency (EXIM Brazil), an integral BNDES subsidiary, a foreign trade agency to provide greater speed and effective support to exports post-shipment operations, by transferring external trade operations to the EXIM Brazil; and

V Economic-Financial Relations with the International Community 81 vii) reducing consumer goods export fi nancing cost by extending to such products National Treasury interest rates equalization on pre-shipment export fi nancing, previously restricted to capital goods. This measure was regulated by Resolution no. 3,851, of April 29, and subsequently amended by Resolution no. 3,910, of September 30, extending the contract deadline from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Resources for such fi nancing, amounting to R$7 billion, were provided by the BNDES.

In July, BNDES created a line of credit called Automatic EXIM, a post-shipment buyer’s credit for South American countries, with three to fi ve years maturities. Post-shipment cash disbursements in reais are made to exporters in Brazil, the relevance of such credit line being the concentration of Brazilian capital goods exports to countries of the region.

In the year, BNDES disbursements tied to foreign trade operations, including services, totaled US$11.2 billion, against US$8.3 billion in 2009, accounting for 5.6% of Brazilian exports. For industry it disbursed US$9.9 billion, encompassing 1.081 operations, mostly in transportation equipments (manufacturing and assembling of motor vehicles, boats, aircraft and railway equipments), responding for 310 operations and US$3.7 billion, followed by the mechanical sector, with 279 operations and US$1.8 billion. The trade and services sector absorbed disbursements of US$1.3 billion, in 183 transactions, and agriculture US$30 million in fi ve transactions. BNDES foreign trade disbursements increased 34.9% in the year, given a 32% annual exports growth.

In 2010, the Export Financing Program (Proex) operations totaled US$4,043.6 million, US$504.9 million related to the fi nancing and US$3,538.7 million to interest rate equalization.

In fi nancings there was a reduction from 1,509 to 1,478 transactions and from 400 to 371 in relation to exporters. In 2010, the main economic sectors using Proex-Financing were agribusiness, 57%, followed by textile, leather and footwear, 26%; and machinery and equipment, 11%. The main economic destination blocs or regions under this Proex facility were Cuba, 37%; EU, 25%; Apec, 18%.

Securities issued backed by interest rate equalization totaled US$118.3 million, compared with US$157.8 million in 2009. In the year, 2.657 operations were performed by 31 exporters, compared to 2,513 in 2008, involving 35 companies. A sectoral analysis shows that transportation responds for 46% of export value, including Brazilian Aviation Company (Embraer) sales abroad, followed by machinery and equipment, 36%, and services 18%. Main export Proex-Equalization destinations were the European Union, 37%; African countries, 20%; North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) and Latin American Integration Association (Aladi) countries, 13% each; Southern Common Market (Mercosur), 8%. Larger companies accounted for 57% of exports value, compared to 86% in 2009.

82 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 As far as trade defense measures are concerned, noteworthy is the Foreign Trade Chamber Resolution no. 63, of August 17, approval and Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC) Directive no. 18 and 21, of August 18 and October 25 respectively, regulating anti-dumping or countervailing measures against omission practices also called bypass or triangulation.

Still on trade defense measures, Resolution no. 43, June 17, Foreign Trade Chamber, regulated the Brazil – United States agreement, suspending until 2012 assets and intellectual property retaliation. As part of negotiated compensations, a US$147.3 million annual fund was created to support domestic cotton growers, handled by a management council comprised by three private sector and three Brazilian government representatives. The World Trade Organization (WTO) authorized retaliation resulted from US failure to comply with its cotton panels determination and its appealing body.

Also in the context of trade defense, by year end, 68 anti-dumping measures were in force. Out of which one on price and other safeguards respecting 44 products of 20 countries or bloc of countries, with emphasis on China, US and India. This year, four anti-dumping measures were applied against China on footwear, synthetic fi ber blankets and ballpoint pens, and one against the United States and Mexico on polyvinyl chloride resin.

On December 28, the Foreign Trade Council (Camex) Resolution no. 92; of December 27, 2010, increased import duty rate from 20% to 35% on 14 types of fi nished toys, up to December 31, 2011, which mostly affected Chinese manufactured toys, which responded for approximately 80% of such imports.

In December, at the close of the Brazilian pro tempore presidency at Foz de Iguazu, Mercosur Common Market Council Decision no. 56/10 set the ten-year schedule to eliminate exceptions to the common external tariffs so as to consolidate the block as a customs union. Another step in this direction, set forth by Decision no. 57/10 was the revision of Capital Goods and Information System and Telecommunication Goods Common Regime on Imports, to come into force as of January 1, 2013, for Argentina and Brazil, and as of January 1, 2015; for Paraguay and Uruguay. The ex-tariff regime allows import duty reduction for capital goods, information system and telecommunications goods not produced in Mercosur countries.

In May 2010, free trade agreement negotiations between Mercosur and the EU were resumed. Mercosur partners require defi nitions on European agricultural subsidies, while the EU is concerned with Mercosur industrial opening. Noteworthy is the fact that this negotiating process in a sense reproduces the diffi culties that blocked the completion of the WTO Doha Round since the end of 2008.

V Economic-Financial Relations with the International Community 83 In the Brazilian legislative level, Decree no. 7,159, of April 27, 2010, enacted Free Trade Agreement between Mercosur and Israel, signed in Montevideo on December 18, 2007. By Decree no. 217, of April 7, the Framework Agreement between Mercosur and the Arab Republic of Egypt was approved, and signed in Puerto Iguazu, Argentina, on July 7, 2004.

Among foreign trade operations facilitating measures, Foreign Trade Bureau Directive no. 10, of May 25, 2010, consolidated foreign trade operations standards and procedures. Siscomex Export Web (Novoex) was designed to replace Siscomex Export module, with direct Internet access without any additional software required on users computers. The system allows user to save Exports Registrations (ERs) and Credit Registration (CRs). CRs register both private and public export fi nancings. With new features, Novoex enables the use of previously recorded information for future and ERs allotting. It also provides a more interactive interface, greater visibility of the process both by the exporter and the consenting party, and allows previous ER simulation. Novoex is running as of November 17 combined with the old system, which will cease to operate in January 2011, as set forth by Foreign Trade Secretariat Directive no. 29, of December 8, 2010.

Another regulatory change pertaining to preference facility resulting from a trade agreement was introduced by MDIC Foreign Trade Secretariat Directive no. 33, published on December 28, 2010. Such measure provided for more stringent criteria on certifi cate of origin, a document certifying the origin of the goods and ensuring it was produced based on previously established criteria. Such measure further provides institutions to adopt an on line system to process such document with digital signatures, to be implemented as of July 1, 2011.

On June 29, 2010, National Board on Export Processing Zones (CZPE) Resolution no. 8 established procedures to declare forfeiture of the act creating Export Processing Zone (ZPE). Up to October 1994, there were ten approved ZPEs with July 1, 2010; deadline to evidence the setting up of managing companies and infrastructure works. In 2010 a decree was published creating the following ZPEs: Aracruz (ES), Suape (PE), Macaíba (RN), Assu (RN), Pecém (CE), Fernandópolis (SP), Bataguassu (MS), Boa Vista (RR), Aracruz (ES), Parnaíba (PI), Senador Guimard (AC), Barra dos Coqueiros (SE).

Exchange policy

Through the year, foreign exchange policy aimed at preventing foreign currency liquidity to produce excessive volatility and imbalances in the exchange market. Within this background the Central Bank maintained a policy of strengthening international reserves, buying US$42 billion net total in the year.

84 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 Fixed income foreign capital operations IOF rate was increased from 2% to 4% on October 4, 2010, by Decree no. 7,323, and 4% to 6% on October 18, by Decree no. 7,330. Additionally, IOF rate on the margin requirements for foreign investment on stock exchanges, commodities and futures was increased from 0.38% to 6%, thus requiring the implementation of such measure to all futures market operations.

Furthermore, National Monetary Council Resolution no. 3,914, of October 19, precluded securities rental, trade and lending, equity and gold as a fi nancial asset held by fi nancial institutions and others authorized to operate by the Banco Central do Brasil to non-resident investor.

CMN Resolution no. 3,912 and 3,915, of October 7 and 28, 2010; respectively, required foreign exchange contract to be drawn on all internal migration of funds in reais, coming from equity investments by non-resident investor carried out on a stock or futures and commodities exchange, including those earmarked for initial or additional margin requirements. Thus the possibility of non-resident investor to make foreign investment in the equities market was eliminated by a 2% IOF rate charge, subsequently redirected to the fi xed income market, charging a 6% rate.

So as to match foreign exchange market supply and demand, CMN Resolution no. 3,911, of October 6, 2010, was issued increasing National Treasury deadline from 750 days to 1,500 days to buy dollars in the market to service the Federal Public External Debt (DPFe). National Treasury continued on its strategy of acquiring foreign currency for external debt interest and principal payment, amounting to US$9.3 billion settlements. Additionally, in order to extend maturities, reduce costs, and increase sovereign debt yield curve points, Global 41 and BRL 28 were respectively reopened in September and October, totaling US$550 million and US$655 million each and amounting to US$655 million.

Currency swap agreement with the Federal Reserve (Fed), established by CMN Resolution no. 3,631, of October 30, 2008, twice extended, and closed on February 1, 2010.

CMN Resolution no. 3,833, of January 28, introduced the mandatory registration of hedge operations carried out with fi nancial institutions or on foreign exchanges abroad. Such registration by fi nancial institutions and others authorized to operate by the Banco Central do Brasil is carried through a system administered by registration and fi nancial assets settlement institutions authorized by the Central Bank or the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such institution must hold documents on hedge operations records.

Net external liabilities reached US$706 billion in 2010. The annual increase of US$100 million refl ected the increases observed in gross external liabilities, US$214 billion, and gross external assets, US$114 billion.

Regarding external assets, the increases of US$50 billion in international reserves, of US$37.1 billion in trade credit, and of US$16.4 billion in direct Brazilian investments abroad stood out.

The evolution of external liabilities was due to increases in stocks of foreign portfolio investments, US$94.4 billion, of which US$53.8 billion in stock, and US$40.7 billion in fi xed-income securities; US$71.8 billion of FDI; and US$47.2 million of other investments, emphasizing their increases of US$21.4 billion and US$23.8 billion in short-term and long term loans, respectively.

146 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 The IMF fi nancing and its relationship with Brazil in 2009-2010

Among the IMF sources of fi nancing, the participation quotas formed by the paid- in capital by each member country are signifi cant. The quotas are calculated on the basis of the relative size of the economy of each country, among other factors, and they determine their individual limits of fi nancial commitment with the IMF, and their voting power in the organization. Its original formation had the following proportions: one fourth in reserve assets, such as convertible foreign currencies or SDR, and three fourths in the currency of the given country.

In order to fund its fi nancial assistance programs, the IMF can use the SDR or currencies of member countries, especially the most developed ones, which were transferred to the Fund upon payment of quotas. These are the primary sources of the Fund’s resources, known as own sources.

In addition to the quotas, the IMF can increase its funding “buying” convertible currencies from its reserve assets of the countries with solid macroeconomic background, passing them to the requesting countries and receiving national currencies in exchange. Once replenished, the countries “buy back” their currencies by paying them in the same

V Economic-Financial Relations with the International Community 147 convertible currencies they took the loans. The IMF thus acts as an operator and paying/receiving agent in this mechanism of purchasing and repurchasing currencies.

In practice, two of the Fund’s programs have been implemented throughout history: the General Arrangements to Borrow (GAB) and the New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB). In 2009, the GAB, established in 1962, encompassed 12 countries and totalled SDR17 billion (US$26 billion). The NAB, founded in 1997, brought together 26 countries and amounted to SDR 34 billion (US$52 billion) on the same date.

148 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 The magnitude of the global fi nancial crisis that started in mid-2008, reinforced the role of the IMF as the grantor of credit to countries with imbalances in the balance of payments, and led the G-20 countries to announce, in April of 2009, a three-fold increase, from US$250 billion to US$750 billion, of the sources of IMF funding. This total refers to the new and expanded NAB, which now has US$600 billion, encompassing 39 countries, compared to 26 previously. The need for special legal and political procedures for the legal approval of this new agreement within the various countries involved contributed to the fact that by the end of 2010, there were only 16 bilateral loan agreements and three purchase agreements of the current IMF Notes in force, totaling US$191 billion.

In January 2010, four years after settling in advance the program of fi nancial assistance that was obtained from the IMF, Brazil has become one of the three countries that subscribed the purchase agreement of the IMF Notes, under the new and expanded NAB framework, becoming one of the 39 potential suppliers of funds to the organization. Brazil has offered to purchase up to US$10 billion in Type A Notes, within two-year period. These above mentioned Type A Notes, unlike the B-type counterparts, may be redeemed immediately if there are imbalances in the balance of payments of the country holding them, the reason why only these former ones are considered as reserve assets and are classifi ed under the heading “Reserve Position in the IMF”. In December 2010, Brazil held, in its international reserves, SDR640 million (US$986 million) in Type A Notes of the Fund under this same heading.

At the same time, Brazil replenished the share in convertible currencies of its Fund’s quota, which had been fully utilized in previous years. In 2010, the “Reserve Position in the IMF” increased US$1.1 billion, as a result of the replenishment of US$105 million of Reserve Tranche (quota in convertible currencies), plus the purchase of US$986 million in Type A IMF Notes.

Still with the objective to increase its funding capacity, the Fund announced on August 7, 2009, the distribution of the equivalent of US$250 billion in general allocation of SDRs, distributed in proportion to the participation share of each member country. Brazil’s share amounted to US$3.5 billion, and was incorporated into the international reserves on August 28, 2009. Subsequently, on September 9, 2009, the country received a new SDR allocation, the calculation result of the review of the country’ share, which resulted in the expansion of the voting power in the IMF from 1.4% to 1.7%, corresponding to US$436 million.

Finally, since August 2009, following the recommendations of the new IMF’s balance of payments manual (BPM6), liabilities arising from all SDR allocations became incorporated into Brazilian foreign debt. At the end of 2010, such liabilities totaled US$4.4 billion.

150 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 VI The International Economy

In 2010, the world economy continued its recovery trend initiated in the second half of the previous year. By then, the coordinated action of central banks and the US and European governments – with the objective to stabilize the fi nancial systems and mitigate the effects of a deepening international fi nancial crisis – once again favored the resumption of economic activity.

The leading developed nations registered once again an annual GDP growth, highlighting the asymmetric nature of this trend within these economies and, especially, when including the performance of the emerging economies.

Financial markets, although registering lower volatility than in 2009, refl ected from May to mid-August, rising concerns with the sovereign debt of some European countries and negative prospects regarding the sustainability of the US economic recovery and China’s performance. As of August, the gradual return of optimism regarding the US and Chinese economic growth and higher liquidity in the global economy boosted the indices of major stock exchanges.

In this environment, the worsening supply of various agricultural products and the strong demand from some emerging countries have created the conditions for a signifi cant appreciation in the prices of agricultural commodities in the second half of the year, causing widespread repercussions on infl ation rates and on the normalization process of the monetary policy, both in developed and emerging economies.

Economic activity

The four largest economies, refl ecting the contrasting recovery of their respective internal demand, particularly household consumption and business investments, registered a distinct growth pace in the fi rst quarter. In this sense, the annualized GDP growth rates in Japan and the US amounted to, respectively, 6.1% and 3.7% in the quarter, while for the United Kingdom and the Euro Area it reached 0.8% and 1.6%, respectively.

VI The International Economy 151 In the US, in a scenario of stabilization of real available income and reduced personal savings, household consumption recorded an annualized increase of 1.9% in the period, while in spite of the gradual exhaustion of the incentive effects to car sales coupled with the severe winter, the household consumption recorded expansion of 1.4%. In Japan, clearly indicating the stimulus to demand for cars and consumer durables, and in the United Kingdom, there were respective 2.1% expansion and 0.3% drop.

Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) of enterprises has shown an annualized quarterly increase at 7.8% in the US and 34.3% in the UK. In the Euro Area, the total GFCF recorded an annualized contraction of 0.9%. In the same period, business investments grew 2.7% in Japan. From a real estate perspective, investments showed an annualized growth of 5.3% in the UK, and 6.5% in Japan, while it recorded declines of 6.2% and 12.3% respectively in the Euro Area and the US Exports of goods and services, in a scenario of recovery of fi nal demand and exhaustion in the inventory adjustments process recorded, in the fi rst quarter, annualized growth of 29.3% in Japan, 12.7% in the Euro Area, and 11.4% in the US, while the UK had a 4% annualized decline. Imports from the Euro Area, refl ecting the low levels of stocks in the region experienced an annualized increase of 15.2% in the quarter, while Japan’s and the US acquisitions, refl ecting a more pronounced recovery in domestic demand in these countries, increased respectively 12.7% and 11.2%. External UK purchases rose 7.7% in the same period.

The stock variation made a positive overall contribution to the annualized GDP growth for the quarter ended March 2010. This performance, coupled with the process of growing exports, and, in the US and Japan, favorable evolution of household consumption, led to the rapid growth of manufacturing output, which recorded in the quarter, annualized rates of 32.7% in Japan, 13.7% in the Euro Area, 7.1% in the US and 4.1% in the UK.

In China, the annual variation of quarterly GDP reached 11.9% in the fi rst three months of the year, the highest growth since the second quarter of 2007, refl ecting strong domestic consumption and export growth, even with further deceleration in the expansion of gross fi xed capital formation. Consumption growth was stimulated by the recovery of the labor market and the maintenance of government incentives to purchase durable goods. During the period, retail sales grew 16.2%, while vehicle sales increased 72.5%. In the same period, industrial production grew 19.6%, refl ecting not only growth of domestic consumption, but also the favorable period for exports, which increased 28.7% over the same period of the previous year. The country’s real imports increased 65.1%, favoring growth of economic activity in Southeast Asia, Japan and the countries exporters of raw materials.

The four largest economies have shown different growth rate in the second quarter. However, in contrast to that observed in the two previous quarters, the annualized rates of the US GDP growth, 1.7%, and Japan, 2.1%, stood at the lower level compared to the UK, 4.3%, and the Euro Area, 4.0% – this was favored by the 9% growth recorded in Germany.

VI The International Economy 153 In the US, although the annual rate of growth of the real available income reached 4.4% in the June quarter, household consumption increased by 2%, favoring the household savings increase of 0.7 p.p., to 6.2% of available income. In the Euro Area, even in an environment of uncertainty caused by the sovereign debt crisis and the gradual elimination of incentives to vehicle purchases, household consumption indicated an annualized growth of 0.8%. In Japan, the exhaustion of incentives to the consumption of durable goods contributed to the fact that consumption recorded an annualized drop of 0.1% in the quarter.

The growth rate of the GFCF of companies in the US reached 17.2% and 0.8% in the United Kingdom. In the Euro Area, the total GFCF presented the fi rst growth since the fi rst quarter of 2008, growing 8.5%, with an emphasis on cost recovery in machinery and equipment and the expansion of construction activity. In Japan, business investments grew by 12%. In the same period, residential investment recorded respective increases of 3.9%, 25.6% and 32.8% in the Euro Area, the US and the United Kingdom, and a decline of 1.3% in Japan. It should be noted that the result registered in the US was led, in part, by the extension of tax incentives for the purchase of fi rst homes.

Exports of goods and services recorded in this period, annualized growth of 22.9% in Japan, 19% in the Euro Area, 9.1% in the US and 12.5% in the UK, while imports of goods and services experienced respective variations by 16.8%, 18%, 33.5% and 8.8% in the mentioned economies.

The manufacturing output in the Euro Area recorded a 9.6% annualized growth in the second quarter, following the strong growth in the US, 8.7%; in Japan, 2.8%; and the United Kingdom, 6.2%.

In China, the annual growth rate of the GDP reached 10.3% in the quarter that ended in June, compared to 11.9% in the quarter ended in March. Retail sales, impacted by the slowdown in vehicle sales, grew 15.2%, while the increase in total fi xed asset investment slowed to 20.5%, the fourth consecutive quarterly decline, and the annualized quarterly growth of industrial production amounted to 16%. Exports accelerated the pace of growth to 40.8% and imports, further infl uenced by the political exhaustion of the policies of commodity stock accumulation, slowed to 43.7% on the same basis of comparison. Considering the falloff in domestic demand and the prospects of slower growth in international trade, in July, the Chinese offi cials announced an additional stimulus to investment in infrastructure involving about US$100 billion, and to domestic vehicle demand.

Showing relative recovery of the labor market and continued expansion in private consumption, the annualized growth rate of Japan’s GDP reached 3.3% in the quarter ended in September, following the strong growth in the UK, 2.9%; US, 2.6%; and 1.4% in the Euro Area.

154 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 In the US, the annualized growth rate of household consumption increased for the third consecutive year, reaching 2.4% in the quarter ended in September. Growth in real available income grew 1.0%, contributing for the household savings rate to fall 0.2 p.p. In the same period, the annualized growth rate of household consumption reached 0.7% in the Euro Area, 3.6% in Japan, showing the impact of the introduction of income transfer and extension of incentives to the consumption of durable goods, and -0.1% in the United Kingdom.

The growth rate of Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) of enterprises slowed to 10% in the US, and accelerated again in the United Kingdom to 17.2%. In the Euro Area, gross fi xed capital formation recorded a new decline of 0.9%. In Japan, the growth rate of business investment slowed to 5.6%. Also in the third quarter, residential investment expanded 7.5% and 18.5% in Japan and the United Kingdom, respectively, and decreased by 4% and 27.3%, respectively, in the Euro Area and the US in this case refl ecting the lagged effect of the end of government incentives for the purchase of fi rst homes that happened in April.

In the US, the external sector contributed -1.8 p.p. for the variation of the annual GDP for the quarter ended in September, contrasting with the respective impacts of 1.5 p.p., 0.3 p.p. and 0.1 p.p. reported in the United Kingdom, Euro Area and Japan Imports of goods and services recorded a 16.8% annualized increase in the US, followed by expansions in Japan, 12%; the Euro Area, 6.2%; and the United Kingdom, 7.8%, noting that exports of goods and services of these economies experienced an annualized growth of 6.7%, 6.3%, 8.6% and 6.7% respectively in the period.

In the third quarter, growth in manufacturing output slowed to 5.1%, 3.1% and 3.6%, respectively, in the US, Euro Area and the United Kingdom, and declined by 4.1% in Japan.

In China, the GDP growth rate in twelve months reached 9.6%. Real retail sales increased 15%, the third consecutive deceleration and consistent with a continued drop in vehicle sales. The growth rate of total fi xed asset investment also recorded the third consecutive slowdown, to 18.3%, while industrial production grew 13.5%, the second consecutive slowdown. Chinese exports grew by 32.2% in the quarter, while imports, showing the impact of the policy of building up stocks of commodities increased 27.1% in the same period in 2009.

The annualized GDP growth rates in the US and the Euro Area reached 3.1% and 1.1% respectively in the quarter ended in December, highlighting that the growth registered in the US refl ected, in particular, the occurrence of reduction in imports and increase in private consumption. In contrast, there were respective drops of 1.3% and 1.9% in GDP in Japan’s and the United Kingdom’s GDP, arising from the exhaustion of incentives

VI The International Economy 155 for the purchase of consumer goods and the slowdown of international trade in Japan, and strong winter in December, in the United Kingdom.

The annualized growth rate of household consumption increased for the fourth consecutive time in the US, reaching 4% in the last 2010 quarter, while real available income grew 1.8% and household savings decreased by 0.5 p.p. to 5.5% of disposable personal income. In addition, household consumption recorded annualized quarterly variations of -3.2% in Japan, 1.6% in the Euro Area and -1.1% in the United Kingdom.

In the same period, the GFCF of companies in the US grew 7.7% and 2% in Japan, and dropped 0.1% in the United Kingdom. The residential investment increased 12.3% in Japan and 3.3% in the US.

Imports of goods and services registered annual variation of -12.6% in the US, 3.9% in the Euro Area, -0.5% in Japan and 13.5% in the United Kingdom. Exports of goods and services by the US, UK and the Euro Area experienced respective increases of 8.6%, 7.1% and 6.3% during the period, while Japan’s external sales fell 3%.

The annualized growth rate of US manufacturing output slowed to 3.5% in the quarter ended in December, while the rates for the Euro Area and the United Kingdom accelerated respectively, to 9.3% and 4.6% and manufacturing output in Japan fell 2.6%.

In China, despite government efforts to restrict credit, reduce the growth rate and enhance the fi ght against infl ation, the annual GDP growth rate reached 9.8% in the quarter ended in December. The December result refl ected, in particular, the performance of retail sales that, while slowing the fourth consecutive quarter, expanded by 14%, and total fi xed asset investment increased 16.8% in the period.

Commodities

The international prices of commodities, after registering sharp volatility up to mid-year, were affected by the scenario of strong demand from China and other major emerging markets, high international liquidity, recovery of major developed economies and declining supply of various agricultural products. As a result, prices of several commodities ended the year at a level higher than that before the intensifi cation of global fi nancial crisis in 2008.

The Commodities Index – Brazil (IC-Br), calculated by the Central Bank of Brazil, increased 35.4% in 2010, as a result of variations of 45.7%, 25.9% and 17.1% in the segments of agribusiness commodities, metal and energy commodities, respectively. Considering the annual average, the index registered annual growth of 20.8% in 2010.

The prices of agribusiness commodities, which, refl ecting the favorable results of the 2009/2010 crop, dropped in the fi rst half, began the process of strong appreciation as of July 2010. This process refl ected the aforementioned increase in demand as well as the consequences of severe drought in Russia, which culminated in the suspension of wheat exports from that country in August 2010, and adverse weather conditions in Australia, China, USA, Argentina and Brazil, which affected the supply of corn, soybeans, sugar, coffee and cotton. In this scenario, the December 2010 and 2009 S&P Goldman Sachs, average indexes reported increases in dollar prices of cotton, 88.9%; coffee, 54.8%; corn, 47.1%; wheat, 43.1%; soybean, 27.6%; and sugar, 24.8%.

The rise in metallic commodities prices refl ected the upturn of economic recovery in the developed countries and strong growth in emerging economies, especially China.

VI The International Economy 157 The impact of high global liquidity on demand for high risk assets and the occurrence of specifi c problems in the supply of nickel and copper contributed additionally. The monthly average of S&P Goldman Sachs indexes in December 2010 and in the previous year recorded its variations of 40% and 30.4% respectively in the prices of nickel and copper, followed by those for aluminum, 7.3%; lead, 3.1%; zinc, -4.6%.

In 2010, the average monthly price of iron ore with content of 63.5% in the Chinese spot market, recorded an appreciation of 60.1%, according to data from Metal Bulletin, a result of the combination of strong demand in China and problems in supply of the commodity faced by major exporters. As from April 1st, the new pricing system under contract for the iron ore came into force, replacing the system of annual negotiations by a new system of quarterly reviews. According to the spot price of iron ore with content of 63.5%, the new system resulted in 100% adjustment of the contract value for the second quarter of 2010, compared to the current 2009 price, followed by an increase of 33.4% in the third quarter and a decline of 11.5% within the following three months.

Despite the strong demand in emerging economies, oil prices showed relative stability in the fi rst half of 2010, refl ecting the high level of world stocks of this commodity. In the second half, the combination of high international liquidity, signals of strength of the recovery of major economies and severe winter in the northern hemisphere boosted the commodity price. In this context, the average prices of oil barrels Brent and WTI types reached, respectively, US$91.80 and US$89.15 in December of 2010, rising 22.9% and 19.7% respectively, over the same period in 2009.

Monetary policy and infl ation

Rising commodity prices during the year, a phenomenon especially important in agricultural and oil sectors, has infl uenced the evolution of infl ation indexes in different manners. The price increase was more intense in economies where domestic demand is found to be more heated and the output gap more closed, like the one registered in emerging Asia and Latin America.

In this environment, major emerging economies, including China, India and Brazil, and mature commodity exporting economies such as Canada, Norway, Australia and New Zealand, began the process of normalization of monetary policy, partially reversing the monetary loosening measures taken while facing the crisis of 2008/2009. Differently, in the G3 economies, where the core infl ation remained depressed during that period, their central banks, delaying the withdrawal of monetary stimulus, did not alter their basic interest rates.

In the US, the capacity utilization level and the slow recovery of the labor market made

Similarly, the twelve-month variation of the core IPC went from 1.8% in December 2009 to 0.6% in October – the lowest value of the series started in 1957 – and 0.8% in December of 2010. It should be noted that, to cope with the scenario of high idleness of production factors and to stimulate domestic demand, the Federal Reserve (Fed) kept the limits of the fl uctuation band of the target for Fed funds at 0% and 0.25% p.y.

Concerning the adequacy of local liquidity, the Fed announced in February, the closure of several unconventional programs started after the fi nancial crisis worsened in 2008 and the currency swap lines with several central banks. In the fi rst quarter, the Fed reduced the maximum term for loans through discount window operations, which once again were performed only through overnight, and in April, it announced the creation of a program of fi xed-term program (Term Deposit Facility – TDF) in order to drain liquidity when needed.

These signs of normalization of the monetary policy have been partially reversed in May, when, in response to a fi scal crisis in certain European countries, Fed reestablished the swap lines with central banks of Europe, England, Canada, Switzerland and Japan. In addition to that, evaluating that core infl ation remained below the level considered consistent and that the labor and real estate markets continued depressed, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided, in August, to provide additional stimulus to the economy. In this sense, it announced it would retain the volume of assets on its balance sheet by reinvesting in long-term treasuries, the resources generated by the maturity of mortgage-backed securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This measure was extended in November through the so-called quantitative easing II, which provided Fed with the purchase of another US$600 billion in long-term treasuries.

In Japan, the consumer price index, confi rming the slowing trend of the defl ationary process which began in 2009, when it fell 1.7%, recorded zero growth in 2010, after growing 0.2% in the twelve- month period ended in October, fi rst rise in 21 months, in this type of analysis. The performance of the annual infl ation refl ected, in particular, increases in variations of food prices, -2.5% to 0.7%, and energy, from -2.6% to 4%.

It should be noted that, in view of the persistent domestic demand below potential level, the defl ationary pressures and the appreciation of the yen determined the performance of the Bank of Japan (BoJ). In this sense, trying to shorten the defl ationary period, reduce real interest rates and curtail the appreciation of local currency, the BoJ kept a loose monetary policy. Extraordinary interventions were undertaken in March and June in order to provide extra liquidity, and in August, at a special meeting, a new quantitative growth through the expansion of the emergency credit line for the fi nancial market from ¥20 trillion to ¥ 30trillion was adopted, as well as the creation of the program of the fi nancial assets acquisition totaling ¥5 trillion. Additionally, in October, the BoJ opted to reduce the basic interest rate of 0.1% p.y. for the range between 0% p.y. and 0.1% p.y.

In the Euro Area, the twelve months variation in the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) was in an upward bias over the year, increasing from 0.9% in December 2009 to 2.2% in December 2010, surpassing the 2% threshold for the fi rst time since the end of 2008. This behavior was determined in particular by the respective annual increases of 2.2% and 11% in food and energy prices, which had varied, respectively, -0.2% and 1.8% in 2009. Core infl ation remained at a level of 1% over the year, registering record low of 0.8% in the fi rst two months of the year. In this scenario, which included anchored infl ation expectations, the European Central Bank (ECB) decided to maintain the benchmark interest rate at 1% p.y.

In March, after announcing that no refi nancing operation with a maturity longer than three months shall be approved and that the three-month offers for these operations would pass from a fl at fee to the auction process, the ECB started easing the monetary policy in May. In this sense, new three and six- month operations were established at a fi xed rate, and the criteria for acceptance of Greek sovereign debt bonus in refi nancing operations became more fl exible. Additionally, also in May, the ECB announced a program of purchases of public and private securities issued by the Euro Area countries – the Securities Markets Program.

VI The International Economy 161 In the UK, despite the high idleness of production factors, the twelve-month cumulative IPC variation confi rmed the upward trend that began in October 2009, remaining above 3% – the ceiling of the long-term goal – throughout 2010. With similar behavior, the core infl ation rate registered annual growth of around 3%, the highest level recorded during the entire decade. This infl ationary process refl ected, in particular, rising commodity and service prices, depreciation of the pound and increased value-added tax.

In order to provide adequate fi nancial conditions to the country’s economic recovery, the Bank of England (BoE) maintained unaltered the asset purchase program, at £200 billion, and basic interest rate at 0.5% per year, a percentage fi xed in March 2009, with developments on the real interest rate trajectory, which reached -3.1% per year in April and December, the lowest level in all decade. It should be noted that, in December, because of the diffi culties in Ireland, the BoE and the ECB created a temporary line of currency swap to facilitate potential Irish needs to pay pound-denominated commitments.

In China, the annual IPC variation rose from 1.9% in December 2009 to 4.6% in December 2010, after reaching 5.1% in November. The acceleration of the indicator refl ected fundamentally the trajectory of food prices, which, by evidencing restrictions on supply and rising demand, posted annual growth of 9.6% in the year, up from 5.3% in 2009. It should be noted that the cumulative variation in food prices last twelve months reached 11.7% in November, the highest percentage since July 2008.

In response to increased liquidity, with rising infl ationary expectations and an upward effective infl ation, the People’s Bank of China (PBC) made quantitative restrictions to curb the rise in property prices and the formation of a real estate bubble in large cities. Additionally, it sold bonds with maturity of three years and raised six times the rate of reserve requirements, setting it at the end of the year, at 18.5% for larger banks and 16.5% for smaller institutions. It should be noted that still in May, after 23 months of fi xed parity against the US dollar, the PBOC announced the easing of the renminbi and, pressed by the high international liquidity and strong credit growth

International fi nancial market

The main fi nancial markets, except for the period from May to August, when the movements of risk aversion associated with the fi scal problems in countries of the Euro Area and the uncertainties about global economic recovery resulted in an increase in risk perception, operated in an environment of lower volatility in 2010 over the previous year.

The stock markets of major developed economies have recovered in 2010, standing, at the end of the year, at a level close to that recorded before the aggravation of the global fi nancial crisis. During the year, the Deutscher Aktienindex (DAX – Germany), Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P500 – USA) and Financial Times Securities Exchange Index (FTSE100 UK) advanced 16.1%, 12.8% and 9% respectively, contrasting with the 3% decrease recorded in Japan’s Nikkei, infl uenced by the appreciation of the Yen and the major uncertainties regarding the country’s economic recovery.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) index, of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, which expresses the implied short-term volatility Standard & Poor’s (S&P500) and is considered an important measure of risk aversion, after reaching 45.8 points on 20 of May 2010, amid tensions over the fi scal situation in Greece, fell to 17.7 points at the end of the year. The average annual index fell from 31.5 points in 2009 to 22.5 points in 2010.

The more favorable prospects in relation to the trajectory of emerging economies contributed to various stock markets of these countries recording, in the period, signifi cant gains, with emphasis on results reported in Turkey, 24.9%; South Korea, 21.9%; Mexico, 20%; India, 17.4%; and South Africa, 16.1%. It is worth mentioning the reduction in the last two months of the year, in the gains in these markets, changes consistent with the signs of resurgence of infl ationary pressures, arising from increases in prices of agricultural commodities and energy.

Uncertainties about fi scal sustainability in the Euro Area countries, despite the fi nancial aid packages and support mechanisms established by the IMF and the European Union, increased the sovereign risk premium measured by the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, which went, respectively, from 283 b.p., 160 b.p., 90 b.p. and 113 b.p. at the end of 2009, to 1,037 b.p., 609 b.p., 499 b.p. and 349 b.p. at the end of 2010.

Yields on long-term bonds of mature economies showed different movements during the year. After decreasing until the end of August, as a consequence of increased risk aversion and mistrust regarding the recovery of the major developed economies, yield of these securities began to refl ect the improved expectations for the world economic growth and a decline in risk aversion. In this scenario, the annual yield of ten-year bonds of mature economies fell between late 2009 and late 2010, registering a drop from 3.84% to 3.29% in the US; from 3.39% to 2.96 % in Germany; from 1.30% to 1.13% in Japan; and from 4.02% to 3.40% in the UK.

The dollar, refl ecting the impact of the European sovereign debt crisis and the improvement of expectations regarding the performance of the US economy, registered respective annual appreciation of 7% and 3.6% against the euro and the sterling pound, respectively. The US dollar experienced 12.8% depreciation against the yen, in particular due to the fact that the Japanese currency became a base for fl ight to quality and assets operations in times of increased risk aversion.

A greater strength of emerging countries growth, the risk reduction and the increased gap between current interest rates in these economies and in major developed economies have attracted signifi cant international capital fl ows to emerging markets, with repercussions on the respective exchange rates. In contrast, the Fed’s announcement of the Quantitative Easing II, in an already abundant liquidity scenario, have raised concerns about possible excessive depreciation of the dollar and the formation of bubbles in asset markets, hastening the adoption of capital control measures in many emerging economies. During the year, the dollar recorded depreciation against the real, 4.8%; the Indian rupee, 3.9%; and the Chinese renminbi, 3.2%; and appreciation against the Turkish lira, 2.9%; and Russian ruble, 1.7%.

VI The International Economy 167 VII International Financial Organizations

International Monetary Fund

The IMF was created at the Bretton Woods Conference on July 22, 1944. It came into force on December 27, 1945, when 29 countries, including Brazil, signed its Articles of Agreement8. At the end of 2010, the Fund had 187 member countries9.

Its mission is to ensure the proper functioning of the global fi nancial system, through the promotion of international monetary cooperation, exchange rate stability and economic growth. The main Fund’s activities are: granting of loans to struggling countries; monitoring of local and global economic conditions (surveillance) and providing technical assistance and economic advice.

The IMF is an organization based on quotas, which represent the contribution of each country and the infl uence on decision power of each of them in the institution. The entire capital of the IMF was SDR 217.4 billion at the end of 201010. Brazil’ share in the Fund is SDR 3.04 billion, representing 1.40% of total capital of the organization.

In 2010, the IMF has undergone important changes related to the governance of the body. The Executive Board approved a reform that promotes a 100% increase in total quotas of the body and a redistribution of the countries’ quotas in order to give greater representation to those countries with emerging economies. Brazil’s share in the Fund’s quotas will be increased to 2.32%. Moreover, the reform establishes a shift towards an Executive Board composed only of elected directors and a commitment to the maintenance of 24 seats, with the future transfer of two European chairs to emerging countries. The changes depend on the ratifi cation by member states, which should occur in late 2012.

8/ The IMF Articles of Agreement was incorporated into Brazilian law by Decree-Law no. 8479 of December 27, 1945. 9/ The Tuvalu, newest member, joined the IMF on June 24, 2010. 10/ With the ratifi cation of the reform of quotas in April 2008, in 2011, the IMF’s total capital shall be DES 238 billion. The share of Brazil amounts to DES 4.25 billion and represents 1.78% of total capital of the IMF.

VII International Financial Organizations 169 In order to accomplish its fi nancing activities, in addition to the resources coming from quotas, the IMF raises funds from countries. During 2010, Brazil started to cooperate more effectively in this regard. In January the Notes Purchase Agreement (NPA) was signed, which provides for the purchase of notes issued by the Fund for an amount up to USD 10 billion. In June, Brazil approved the admission of the New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB)11, expanded in April after trading in 2009 with the support of G-20. The program resources will increase from SDR 34 billion to SDR 367 billion. Brazil must provide a credit line of SDR 8.7 billion, which will incorporate the commitments of the NPA when the expanded NAB comes into force in 2011.

In 2010, the IMF has promoted a reform of its credit lines, reinforcing mechanisms of precautionary loans, focused on fi ghting and preventing crises. The Flexible Credit Line (FCL) established in 2009, provides the countries with solid economic fundamentals with a credit line not associated with restrictions on economic policy. In 2010, the FCL has had its deadline extended from one to two years, and removed the limit for loans of 1000% of the quota. A PCL (Precautionary Credit Line) was created with the same precautionary purpose, with a little more fl exible requirements than the FCL, but with shorter terms, a loan limit of 500% (initial) or 1000% (after 12 months) of the share and with remedial measures of aspects that would not qualify a country for the FCL.

The IMF’s monitoring activities (surveillance) are traditionally focused on the annual assessment of the economy of member countries, established by article IV of the Articles of Agreement of the body. It includes fi scal, monetary, and fi nancial and exchange aspects, and checks whether the policies carried out by the countries contribute to domestic and external stability. In 2010, as a result of the crisis, the IMF proposed the creation of a report (Spillover Report) that would be carried out together with assessments of article IV of the U.S., Euro Zone, Japan, China and the United Kingdom, that would verify the impact of their economic and fi nancial policies over other countries.

Another IMF assessment tool is the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) conducted jointly with the World Bank, upon request of the member country. The program checks two aspects: degree of fi nancial stability and level of fi nancial development of the country. In 2010, the Board decided that the 25 countries of systemic importance should perform the fi nancial stability part of the FSAP every fi ve years in accordance with the article IV. In the same year, Brazil expressed its intention to participate in a new FSAP, scheduled for early 2012.

Together with the FSAP, or independently, the IMF and World Bank can also draw up the Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC). These evaluations constitute the degree of adoption by member countries, of 12 international standards

11/ Established in 1997, NAB provides its members resources available to the Fund (in the form of loans or notes) upon request by the Managing Director of the IMF and approval by 85% of the members.

Additionally, the Fund combines the impressions received in its studies and evaluations of the world economy as a whole. The most relevant studies are the World Economic Outlook (WEO) and Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR), published biannually. In 2010, the Fiscal Monitor report has gained more prominence and became part of a series of studies incorporating the WEO and GFSR.

Group of the 20 – G-20

The G-20 is an informal forum that promotes discussion between industrialized and emerging countries on key issues related to global economic stability. The Group supports worldwide growth and development by strengthening the international fi nancial architecture and providing opportunities for dialogue on national policies and international cooperation.

Created in response to fi nancial crises recorded in the late 90s, the G-20 refl ects more accurately the diversity of interests of industrialized and emerging economies, thus having greater representation and legitimacy. Its composition is given by the Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors from 19 countries12 and the rotating presidency of the European Union Council and the European Central Bank. Also, to ensure simultaneous work with international institutions, the Managing Director of the IMF and the World Bank Governor participate ex offi cio in the meetings.

The presidency of the Group is annual, rotating among the members, the country president responsible for establishing an interim secretariat during its tenure. In 2010, this role fell to Korea. The Koreans were tasked to develop the work program of the forum, organize events and make coordination between the various members.

In 2010, the G-20 held two Summits and three meetings of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors. During the year, after its successful efforts in containing the global fi nancial crisis, the G-20 focused on global economic recovery and modernization of the IMF.

The Group’s continued efforts focused on strengthening the process of international coordination. After the last crisis, it became clear that global imbalances and failures of the international monetary system require coordinated action, renewed international

VII International Financial Organizations 171 fi nancial institutions and new fi nancial instruments. As a result, the G-20 Summit in Seoul launched the Action Plan, which aims at better coordination of macroeconomic policies, structural reforms that enhance and sustain the global demand and the promotion of external sustainability.

The discussions within the Group also resulted in agreement on the terms of the Fund’s reform, which will be implemented by 2013. This will provide a signifi cant increase in the voting power of emerging and developing countries and important changes in the governance structure of the organization. Thus, the G-20 further consolidated its role as the main forum for the global economy and fi nancial debate, having in view the important role and performance that emerging economies play today.

Due to the extension of the last crisis, the G-20 was forced to address a wide range of topics. Their regular meetings and seminars have become insuffi cient to cover the entire agenda of the Group. Thus, the G-20 has treated a greater number of issues through the composition of work or study groups (WGs), which despite having voluntary participation ended up including all the member countries and some major international organizations.

In this respect, in addition to periodic events, the G-20 discussed in 2010 WGs the instruments to improve fi nancial safety networks; a new regulatory framework; development issues; climate change; and fi nancial inclusion. The Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) has actively participated in this last issue, being the coordinator, together with Australia, of one of its work subgroups, called Financial Access through Innovation.

At the Seoul Summit, the presidency of the Group was passed to France, which added to its 2011 work plan to revamp the international monetary system and to study the behavior of commodity markets. It was also announced that Mexico will chair the G-20 in 2012.

Bank for International Settlements – BIS

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is an organization founded in 1930, and its mission is to assist the central banks and fi nancial authorities in the maintenance of monetary and fi nancial stability, promote international cooperation in these areas and act as a bank for central banks. The Central Bank of Brazil is a shareholder of the BIS since March 25, 1997, with 3000 subscribed shares for the amount of SDR15 million, equivalent to 0.55% of the overall capital of the organization.

In its mission to promote fi nancial stability, BIS coordinates the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision; the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems; the Committee

172 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 of the Global Financial System; and the Market Committee, giving all of them a high degree of autonomy in structuring their agendas and activities.

In the role of bank for central banks, BIS offers a wide variety of banking services, especially designed to assist in the management of reserves. Approximately 140 institutions, including central banks, make use of this service. On average, over recent years, about 6% of global international reserves have been applied by the central banks with the BIS.

Since 2009, Brazil has intensifi ed its participation in BIS, formally becoming a member, in addition to the committees mentioned above, of the Financial Stability Board (FSB). In January 2010, this process culminated with the president of the Brazilian Central Bank, Henrique Meirelles, being elected a member of the Board of that organization.

In addition to the Annual General Assembly, which usually occurs in June, bimonthly high-level technical meetings are carried out, restricted to central bank governors and, at most, one more special advisor, among which we highlight the Global Economy Meeting (GEM) and the Meeting of Central Bank Governors.

The main purpose of the GEM, which brings together 30 Central Bank governors BIS shareholders (including Brazil) as permanent members, and another 15 as observers, is to monitor economic and fi nancial developments and assess the risks and opportunities in the global economy and global fi nancial system. In addition, GEM started to coordinate the activities of the Committee for Clearing and Settlement Systems, the Committee for Global Financial System, and Committee for the Markets.

In order to assist the GEM in preparing proposals for discussion and decision, the BIS board created the Economic Advisory Committee (EAC), a composed of 15 members of the Board, General Manager of the BIS and the governors of the Mexican and Indian Central Banks.

The Basle Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) directs its efforts at supervising the individual institutions and their relation to macro-prudential supervision. Given the recent fi nancial crisis, the Committee announced, in September 2010, the rules called Basle III, with more stringent provisions to the fi nancial system, especially in relation to capital levels of banks.

The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) works in partnership with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (Iosco) analyzes and establishes standards for payment systems, settlement and clearing. The main actions taken during 2010 consisted in reviews of their standards, including recommendations for Central Counterparts responsible for the settlement of OTC derivatives transactions.

VII International Financial Organizations 173 The key function of the Committee on the Global Financial System (CGFS) is to monitor the development of fi nancial markets for the major central banks. The objective of the Committee is to identify and evaluate potential sources of stress in global fi nancial markets and thereby promote stability and improvement of markets. In 2010, the focus of the work was directed to the responses of public and private sectors to the crisis and the implications of the development of macro prudential tools and frameworks for central banks.

The Markets Committee is a forum for monitoring the development, operation and possible trends in fi nancial markets. The purpose is to facilitate the exchange of information among its members on short-term implications of recent events in the functioning of markets and central bank operations.

In the Financial Stability Board, an agency coordinated by the BIS, Brazil has participated actively in discussions on reform of global prudential regulatory standards and on promotion of cooperation between national authorities, international organizations and regulatory agencies. In June 2010, during the G20 meeting, it was proposed that the FSB should expand its activities beyond its membership as a way to better refl ect the global nature of the fi nancial system. Therefore fi ve regional consulting groups should be established, one of which in the Americas.

Brazilian Central Bank attended the meetings and work groups of the Advisory Council for the Americas, established in 2008, and composed of the presidents of the six central banks of the BIS members in the region – Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, U.S. and Mexico – with goals of improving the performance of that organization in the region and to better refl ect the needs and interests of the Americas in its work program. In February 2010, President Henrique Meirelles became the president of the board.

Finally, the BCB also represents Brazil in the Irving Fisher Committee on Central Bank Statistics.

Center for Latin American Monetary Studies – CEMLA

CEMLA, organization established in 1952, is a civil association with legal domicile in Mexico City, which has as its objectives to promote better understanding of monetary or banking matters in Latin America and the Caribbean; assistance in training of the staff of central banks and other fi nancial agencies in the region; research and systematization of the results in the fi elds mentioned above; and the dissemination of information to members about events of international and regional interest within fi nancial and monetary policies framework.

174 Boletim do Banco Central do Brasil – Annual Report 2010 The Cemla is currently composed of 51 institutions, 30 of which are central banks associated with voting and voice power. The other institutions are divided between collaborating members and staff assistants, who have only the power of voice. In 2010, the General Directorate of the organization began, through talks with BIS participating central banks the process of expanding its collaborating members. Besides strengthening its budget, another explicit goal of the initiative is the establishment of regional partnerships, especially between Latin America and Asia.

The management of the Center is through the Governors Assembly and the Board of Government, advised by the Alternates Committee and the Audit Committee. The elective offi ce of deputy general director, the second most important in the institution, has been traditionally occupied by the BCB in recent terms (the current one, since 2007, is occupied by Luiz Barbosa, a retired employee).

During 2010, Cemla offered 56 events and 12 technical assistance missions, often in conjunction with other organizers. Of these activities, approximately 60% are concentrated in the area of training. Regarding the distribution of events by subject matter, there was, in 2010, greater focus on issues arising from the crisis, especially on macroeconomic and fi nancial stability aspects.

In conjunction with the BCB, CEMLA organized in 2010 four courses (banking regulation and risk management/measurement; economic growth and development; advanced macro fi nance; fi nance and development) and a meeting on human resource management in central banks.

Over the years the Center has coordinated 14 technical meetings. We especially highlight the above mentioned meeting held in Brazil; the monetary policy advisors meetings; researchers meetings; and open market operators meeting. The Conference on Economic and Financial Education in Latin America and the Caribbean has also received special attention from the organization.

CEMLA maintained its policy of promoting technical assistance to member central banks, in coordination with international organizations and other technical partners. The programs, consisting of assessment missions, preparation of recommendations and meetings with national authorities, aimed at strengthening specifi c areas of central banks, especially those of Central America and the Caribbean. Public debt management, which used to be the main area of technical assistance, has gradually given way to programs, for payment systems development, credit information and data dissemination.

As far as Rodrigo Gómez Award is concerned, given annually to the best academic work submitted to CEMLA, 12 studies were analyzed in 2010. The best assessment came from the work of the servants of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, Paul Castillo and Jorge Salas, entitled “The terms of trade as drivers of economic fl uctuations in

VII International Financial Organizations 175 developing economies: An empirical study.” From 2010, CEMLA began offering special award ceremony to be held at the headquarters of the central bank whose employees have won the award.

Finally, given that Argentina, Brazil and Mexico are the only countries in the region which is G-20 members, in 2010 CEMLA started to address issues of the Group in its meetings. This is an effort to level the discussion among its members and to try, in the opposite sense, to put the dominant issues of the region in today’s main forum for global discussion.
