Media Reaction - Global Economy: Financial market crisis; Sao Paulo
February 2, 2009

Title- Worsening Scenario

Editorial in liberal in Folha de S.Paulo (2-2) says: "The U.S. GDP
dropped 3.8% in the last quarter of 2008. Even if the decline was
lower than expected; it is the largest since 1982 - which confirms
the worsening of the crisis....The deterioration of the economic
environment continues to impose new losses on international banks.
With it, the risk aversion persists, which re-feeds a pernicious
circle between the financial markets and economic activity. In
front of this scenario, the International Monetary Fund correctly
suggests that an economic rebound will not be possible until
financial markets have their functions restored and the credit
market is unobstructed."
