But the government is concerned about other effects on the economy and exporters want change.
The Brazilian knows: the rise and fall of the dollar directly influences our economy. Lately, the dollar goes down there. Who celebrates it, those that export is apprehensive. But the effect of this decline goes far beyond the external accounts and accounts that are apparently has nothing to do with the dollar.
He moves up with the rent and all contracts that are adjusted by the IGP-M, an index that has a strong influence of the dollar. Yesterday, the dollar ended worth R$ 1.72. It is the lowest price in more than a year.
In the supermarkets, the decline is visible in the sector of imported and has also been reported in some areas we have not thought.
Today we have the luxury of doubt: we want a French wine or a Chilean? Portuguese olive oil or Italian? A Dutch or Swiss cheese? This easy access to products that ten years ago would cost out the nose has its price: the falling dollar. What does this mean for our day to day?
"Very little in the daily routine affects many more exports, actually the country's economy as a whole, but for the people do not really believe that there is increased noise," notes André Stegun engineer.
But the dollar's value affects not only imported products. For the economist Francisco Pessoa Faria, this is one of the most important prices in the economy, for nearly everything in our lives.
"The discussion of exchange is almost a matter of national security. It involves many losers and winners and affects both inflation and your job. The rent is an asset which is connected to the exchange. Who has rent know that it is corrected by the IGP-M, which depends on the exchange rate, "explains economist/ LCA Consulting Francisco Pessoa Faria.
Not only the rent, but any contract based on the IGP-M. The interference of foreign exchange is also in seemingly unlikely places: the tires in the dog food. Where there is an item imported for the production of a product, there will be a drop in price. This is good or bad?
"We like a lot. Indeed, for us is not very good because we consume more than they should, "says the businesswoman Maria de Lourdes Alvarenga.
Brazil today is a perfect place for large foreign investors will bring more dollars into the country. This can be transformed into major importers and hinder our exports and domestic industry.
"In general most affected are those that export without many inputs. Or you can not take advantage of both machines. We speak of the textile and footwear that have suffered. Who loses are all exporting and have strong competitors out there, "said economist Francisco Pessoa Faria.
For him, one must look back and see not only the Brazil of today, but that country have here 10 or 15 years.
"It's a price that affects everyone, directly or indirectly. Pretending that the exchange has an impact on the social structure, geographical location is close our eyes to a reality that will impose itself sooner or later, "notes economist / LCA Consulting Francisco Pessoa Faria.
It's a tricky balance: low dollar helps to control inflation, allows the purchase of machines with lower prices. But affect important sectors of the Brazilian economy, such as agribusiness.
