Brazil has been tipped to continue experiencing economic growth over the next few years.

According to the New York Times, places such as the US and Europe are currently on the verge of recession and experiencing a downturn in their housing markets.

By contrast, Brazil is performing strongly and is currently in the middle of its biggest expansion in decades.

The New York Times said many sectors of the economy are reaping the benefits of this growth, as are many of the country's population.

Commenting on the impact of this growth, it remarked: "It has given Brazil new swagger, providing it with greater leverage to push for a tougher bargain with the US and Europe in global trade talks."

According to Amberlamb, the country's population is currently growing in wealth as the Brazilian economy is continuing to expand.

This, it said, is leading to new demand for high-quality properties in various regions, which the organisation believes could create opportunities for foreign investors.
