Brazil's president seems to have the economy in the country able to withstand other's economic problems. Luiz Incacio Lula da Silva or Lula led the Brazilian economy to a slight growth during 2007 at 5.4%. Plus the inflation rate dropped to 3.6%, and surplus was even up.

Investors and people stock trading state that Brazil is by far the strongest economy when compared to several of the other past leaders. Their inflation rate even dropped, and surplus was up to $3. 6 billion dollars. What a fantastic leadership role President Lula has taken on.

Not even affected by those mortgages problems that have faced so many other nations in the world. A large amount of homes are owned by the Brazilians, 70% in fact. Though they may not be in the best shape, they still do own them.

The president is the direct reason behind this good fortune, swearing he would make the economic development of Brazil his number one priority. He's done a fantastic job, and has helped in pulling in other Latin nations to support US ideas.

One thing that has never been done by a Latin country before is paying off an International Monetary Fund, ahead of when it's due. But the economy in Brazil is growing and has accomplished that feat, and had a lot of money still left in the reserves. In fact they paid it off a year early.

Though many people will always complain about things, and this is a case where that is to be true too. People complain that only the people in higher classes are receiving the benefits of the economy being so much better. And another cause of frustration seems to be not enough energy or focus is being placed on the education system.

Brazil has led producing Mercosur, and a few other organizations, and is also assisting in other Latin nations to accept the United States. Let's hope that everyone starts following the results of the Brazilian government to get out of the economic woes that seem to be facing many countries.
