Has Brazil opened a window, or door to opportunity?

Success for pensions reform in the Congress – the long-held litmus test of Brazilian recovery – has buoyed asset prices and led to a flurry of activity.

The country’s stock index is at record levels (it broke the 106,000 level in mid-July and it is also near to a record in dollar terms), which has led to a flood of new equity issuance, most of it secondary deals. 

Investment banks are having a good year: according to data provider Dealogic in the first half of 2019 there were 19 deals worth a combined volume of $8,411, compared to $3,130 in the first half of last year.
