O texto destaca a redução da taxa de juros, a melhoria na governança e as finanças públicas (incluindo os preços dos commodities). Para a revista, a onda de IPO foi boa para a governança.

The View from Cloud Nine
Why Brazil looks in better shape than many other emerging markets
RIGHT now it is hard to walk around swanky parts of São Paulo without running into someone who has an uncle, a cousin or a brother involved in a company float. As many as 27 firms made their debut on the São Paulo exchange, known as Bovespa, in the first half of the year, surpassing the total number of floats in the whole of 2006. And they keep coming.
IPO-fever is such that shares in the exchange itself were due to start trading on October 26th, as The Economist went to press. It should be a coming-of-age party for a market that has broadened, deepened and bounded ahead recently (see chart).
This is quite a turnaround. Five years ago interest rates were so high that investing in equities was an esoteric pastime. Trading volumes were languishing and companies were rushing to delist.
Since then, three things have happened. First, interest rates have come down. Second, steps have been taken to improve corporate governance.

Even Warren Buffett, a shrewd American investor, has been buying the Brazilian currency.
