Financial Results of Large Brazilian Banks Show Lower Profitability Levels in 2012, Informs Euromonitor International

21 Dec 2012 • by Natalie Aster

The Central Bank was the frontrunner in an aggressive cycle of the Brazilian benchmark interest rate SELIC (Sistema Especial de Liquidacao e Custodia). Lower interest rates impact banks’ financial results and are accompanied by lower bank spreads. Consumers benefit from the new setting and the economy is stimulated through increased consumption.

The new report “Consumer Lending in Brazil” by Euromonitor International state that Brazilian economic growth was sustained by consumer credit. The millions of people who joined the middle class since 2002 stimulated consumption through consumer credit. The government’s equation was based on the simple motto: more people, more credit. Financial institutions led by public banks followed the government’s maxim and supplied the economy with expanding consumer credit lines.
