Abstract
I am an employee of the World Bank. I was recently asked to conduct some research of an economic concern in a country in South America. After narrowing down my choices, I decided to take a closer look at Brazil. As a part of my research, I will be looking at their Gross Domestic Product (GDP). During this time, I will specifically be looking for relationship between their GDP and their economy as well as searching for any trends in the data.

Today, I will be researching the economy of Brazil. I will be researching its GDP and looking at the relationship between their GDP and their economy. Along the lines I will be carefully looking for any trends in the data and supporting them with statistical data. Brazil is the largest country in South America and is the fifth-most populated nation in the world. Brazil also has the seventh-largest economy in the world. The gross domestic product value of Brazil represents 3.93% of the world economy. In 2010, Brazil’s gross domestic product was at an estimated $2.090 trillion and their per capita was at $10,816. In 2012 their gross domestic product was worth 2435.20 billion US dollars. Brazil 's gross domestic product expanded 5.0% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, down from growth of 6.7% in the third quarter and a peak of 8.8% in the second quarter [Fick, J.
