  1. Economic Outlook Macro Research – ItaúUnibanco July, 2013

  2. Agenda International • Global economy at a new stage. Better growth perspectives in the U.S., emerging economies decelerate. • The expectation of the Fed´s policy normalization has caused a sell-off in the emerging markets. The impact depends on each country´s fundamentals. Brazil • Markets’ adjustment to the Fed and popular demonstrations have produced a relevant chance in the macroeconomic scenario. • The Real has depreciated along with other currencies, but it has lost more value against the dollar than its more than its pairs. • Weaker Real leads to worse inflation perspectives in 2013 and stronger need to raise interest rates. • Fiscal stance is likely to become less expansionary, but popular demonstrations have reduced the probability of a deeper public spending adjustment. • More uncertain environment and higher interest rate affect negatively the growth perspectives.

  3. U.S.: PayrollSurprises Again in June • Labor market in the U.S. remains strong. • The payroll has gained 195k in June (BBG survey: 165k) and was revised at 70k in the two previous months.

  12. What Explains the Weak GDP in the Last Few Years? GDP Growth Breakdown QoQ, SAAR • Deleveraging: • Higher real interest rates (+150bps) • Macroprudential measures (reserve + capital requirements) • Reduction in government current expenditure growth (to 0% from 10%-15%) • Reduced BNDES disbursements • Global risk aversion (VIX up to 40) • High inventories, decelerating growth and imports • Supply Issues: • Fiscal expansion and interest rate cuts; economy reacts slowly • Excessive interventionism creates higher economic policy risk • Productivity deceleration seems stronger than cyclical factors; lower potential growth • With low productivity growth, rising wages reduce margins and become a limitation on investment • Inflation accelerates, affecting real income and consumption • Signs of growing net imports Source: Itaú Unibanco, IBGE

  14. Volatile Industrial Production Data, Investment Shows Signs of Weakness Again • The industrial production has dropped in May, after a sharp rise in the previous month. The fall was widespread and has reached most subsectors. • The capital goods production had an important fallback. High interest rates, weaker Real and higher uncertainty are likely to cause a longer cool down in investment.

  30. Conclusion World: news from the American economy have increased markets volatility in the short term, but the U.S. recovery is positive for the medium term. ü Higher interest rates in the U.S. are here to stay, but some correction in the asset prices is likely to happen after the sell-off in the emerging markets is finished. ü Brazil: weaker Real leads to higher inflation, higher interest rates and less expansionary fiscal stance. ü More uncertain environment (internal and external) is likely to reduce growth. The labor market is a risk. ü
