\n

The Chancellor has today (9 October 2015) announced that he will host Brazilian Finance Minister Joaquim Levy in London for the inaugural UK-Brazil Economic and Financial Dialogue on 29 October.<\/p>\n

The first UK-Brazil Economic and Financial Dialogue (EFD<\/abbr>) will present an opportunity to deepen ties between the UK and Brazilian economies, including discussing both infrastructure and financial services.<\/p>\n

The UK has strong propositions in areas of growing demand in Brazil, including high-end consumer goods, healthcare, tourism and education. UK exports to Brazil have grown by more than 50% since 2009 and the EFD<\/abbr> will help to boost trade even further. <\/p>\n

Speaking at the IMF Annual Meetings in Lima, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said: <\/p>\n

\n

The UK has in the past neglected its ties with Latin America. That has now started to change. I want to see a much stronger economic relationship with Brazil.<\/p>\n

We have an economic and financial dialogue with China and India. Now we\u2019re adding Brazil. It\u2019s an important upgrade in our relationship.<\/p>\n

I look forward to discussing what we can do together to improve infrastructure, support finance and enhance investment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
