Brazilian disease

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brazilian disease is a phrase in economics to describe the situation in which the Brazilian real has strengthened (trading at around R$1.95 to the US dollar [1]) on high prices for commodities such as soybeans, making Brazilian exports of manufactured goods uncompetitive in foreign markets. [1]
