the routing of our capital and services for the South American region.

mutual development. A free trade agreement, for example, that enables the reduction of tariffs,
expanding the space for economic development on both sides, feeding sector jobs and
providing more prone to the economic and political stability. Specific industries - such as textile
and fashion industry - if still would strengthen through cultural exchange.

exchange rate does not intimidate us and, despite the reduction of the Brazilian import activities,
we are optimistic about the future ahead of a possible multilateral agreement between the
blocks.
