dollar in the heights
Brazil is one of the main countries that suffers due to the high dollar, and the price of gasoline is currently at this value due to this factor.
However, it is much more a political issue than anything else, realize that Brazil has not given a good image to other countries since 2019, and with the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, this only got worse.
Due to an anti-science view of the government, environmental policies and other issues such as forest fires that increased rapidly, made foreign investors lose interest in investing in Brazil.
