VOICED : Brasil entra en recesion tecnica

Brazil, the largest economy in Latin America, has entered a technical recession with two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction. The downturn is attributed to an industrial crisis and numerous holidays during the World Cup. Additionally, inflation has reached 6.5%, the upper limit set by the government. These economic challenges come just before the October elections, complicating President Dilma Rousseff's re-election campaign. The unexpected candidacy of Marina Silva has further increased political uncertainty, affecting investments. The government remains hopeful for economic improvement in the second half of the year, with some analysts viewing the situation as growing pains. Brazil has experienced moderate growth over the past four years, with GDP growth declining from 7.5% in 2010 to 2.5% in 2013.
