Brazil Outlook: Growth Unlikely to Collapse in 2012
Provided there is no structural break in the eurozone before late 2012, we are not expecting growth to be much different in 2012 than it was in 2011. In 2013, however, our forecasts turn far more negative. Any change in the timing of a Greek exit from the eurozone would dramatically change the forecast for 2012.
