Natal is popular location for investment in Brazil

Mon, 9 May 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Investors looking for investment opportunities in South America have been told that Natal is one of the most popular locations to buy property in Brazil.

BuyAssociation claims that the best potential lies in the north-east of the country, with a range of high-quality developments and inward investment resulting in huge capital growth.

However, the company added that buying property in this region has other benefits.

"A purchase here isn't all about money - some of the purest water and cleanest air in the continent has been found here," the company told IFAonline.co.uk.

It added that the Natal can also claim to offer the highest quality of life and the lowest crime rate in the country.

The firm noted that Brazil has come to prominence on the overseas property market in recent years due to its rapid economic and social development.

It now leads the way in the BRIC group of emerging markets and is pushing to becoming one of the largest economies in the world.

Brazil bids to boost rainforest

Wed, 3 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The Brazilian government is targeting a 70% reduction of deforestation rates over the next ten years.

In a major bid to prevent the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and boost climate change initiatives, Brazil has established clear targets for combating the work of illegal loggers and ranchers.

The plan was unveiled by environment minister Carlos Minc in Brasilia on Monday (December 1st) and will be presented to the UN climate change conference in Poznan, Poland later this week.

Last year, Brazil established the Amazon fund, encouraging foreign nations to contribute money to the fight against deforestation.

Increased protection for one of Brazil's most famous natural features is good news for property owners in the country, as well as the many holidaymakers who visit the South American nation.

The Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organisation (ACTO) recently revealed a new scheme to promote tourism in the Amazon Basin region.
