The Gross Domestic Product (GDP! ) declined further in the second quarter 2015. Over one year the GDP was down 2.6%. The lower international demand explains part of the poor score, restrictive monetary and fiscal measures implemented by the government explain the rest. The Brazilian economy also suffers from structural weaknesses more consistently weigh on its growth: poor infrastructure, labor costs and the weakness of the Brazilian currency in back loop analysts and investors to explain their confidence in the growth potential structural Brazil
