More about Belo Horizonte
Short history and Economic Information
Belo Horizonte, the city that wins over your heart
The first planned city in the country of the republican period and projected to be the new capital of Minas Gerais, the “Minas City” (Cidade de Minas), as the capital was known in the past, was inaugurated on December 12th, 1897. The name “Belo Horizonte” was definitively adopted four years later, in 1901.
Capital of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte is located in the southeast region and is the sixth most populous city in the country and has been indicated by the Population Crisis Committee of the United Nations as the city with the best quality of life in Latin America and is 45th among the 100 best cities in the world. Today, the city has the fifth largest GDP among the Brazilian municipalities, represented 1.38% of the total wealth produced in Brazil. An evidence of the city’s development in recent years is the magazine América Economía’s classification, in which Belo Horizonte appears, in 2009, as one of the 10 best cities in which to conduct business in Latin America, in front of cities like Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, and Curitiba.

Its touristic diversity attracts people from Brazil and the world, enchanted with art, music, theater, dance and literature, making the city standout as contemporary and surprising.
Framed by the Serra do Curral mountain range, Belo Horizonte received the title “Garden City” for being one of the most arboreal cities in the country.
Modern, with a quality tourist infrastructure and a vast range of servicies, Belo Horizonte has been consolidating it’s position as a center for touristic promotion. Whether in its tradition or modernity, the people’s hospitality, values, and affection are registered characteristics, creating an appeal a part, always welcoming and encouraging tourists to come back.

Clinton: thumbs up for Brazil
It's official: Brazil has the best long-term prospects of the biggest emerging market economies – Bill told us so.
At a conference in São Paulo today, former US President Bill Clinton put his money behind Latin America's biggest economy over China and India.
"If I were just sitting in a room betting on the future of rising countries, I'd bet on Brazil first," Clinton said…
Clinton, speaking at a forum of bankers in São Paulo, acknowledged some problems but said Brazil still “looks really good” compared to crisis-ridden economies in Europe and the United States. He said Brazil also compared favorably to India, which is struggling with a stagnant economic reform agenda, and China, which has tensions with some of its neighbors and is at risk of suffering from water scarcity and other depletion of natural resources, he said. China “would kill to have the environmental problems you guys do,” Clinton told the mostly Brazilian audience.
It is hard to disagree with him. Brazil does not have the vast populations of India or China and therefore can increase per capita income more easily. Brazil has 60 per cent natural vegetation cover – a claim that even most small countries could not make, and controls a large part of the world’s fresh water.
Brazil has no real enemies and not much by way of natural disasters. Latin America’s largest economy is also relatively well governed, is stable and democratic. It has had a centre-left government for the past nearly 10 years that is proving to be pragmatic, recently turning to the private sector to help it develop much-needed infrastructure. It was ironic, however, that the person who broke this positive narrative at the event, which was held by Itaú BBA and also attended by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, was Brazil’s former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Of course he has an axe to grind – he is from the other side of politics from today’s government. But Cardoso is widely respected for conquering Brazil’s endemic inflation and stabilizing its currency.
If there is any message there, it is that there is no room for complacency. Brazil is almost too lucky – after all, it has had many of the advantages listed above for the past 500 years of European settlement. The challenge today is to seize this moment.
Why Invest in Brazil?
Property purchase offers far greater returns today than most stock market investments and never before has international property been as popular as a highly lucrative means to create wealth.
Worldwide property investors are now turning their attention to Brazil as it fast becomes a leader in the field of emerging markets. Returns on investment are considered to be excellent and investors are increasingly aware of the high growth potential that Brazil offers as a stable though fresh, new investment market.
Advantages of Brazil Investment

Property purchase specifically as an investment vehicle is a popular option amongst those aiming to capitalise on the excellent growth potential of property in Brazil. This type of investment can consist of an off-plan purchase for sale prior to project completion. Alternatively, a buy-to-let situation can provide reliable rental income from the property, along with substantial capital appreciation.
According to independent investment experts, including many articles in international investment press, Brazil is now widely considered to be a highly profitable market. The economic climate and tourist infrastructure are currently undergoing major upheaval, while the country’s economic strategy has caused much growth in the past 3 years. While Brazil remains on a steady growth curve, investors are urged to catch this promising market from the very start, while prices remain low and high returns on investment are inevitable in current hotspot locations.
Brazil has excellent direct flight communications with the UK and the rest of Europe, making it a convenient holiday destination. This accessibility increases potential investment yields and reinforces the promising future of Brazil. A low cost of living, great quality of life, a fantastic climate, tropical beaches and a rich and vibrant culture are all valuable contributing factors to Brazil's success.
