According
to EIU experts, important factors for the current weak growth are the
now
almost stagnating service and industry sectors. These sectors together
yield
more
than 90% of the Brazilian gross domestic product. Most of all, exports
are
flagging,
which is mostly due to the bad economic situation on the major sales
markets,
i.e. Europe, China and the USA. Add to this the largest decline in
agricultural
production since 2005 caused by bad weather in the first quarter of
2012.
