Brazil has exported a lot to Argentina. They are our biggest clients. We need to be sensitive to the macroeconomic questions of Argentina as it recovers from the deep crisis.

The growth in exports is slowing down. Each month, the rate of growth is a little lower.

March had four additional days. But even factoring in the additional days, the month was good for sales.

Rising incomes combined with falling interest rates positively affected the domestic market.

We are going to start the process of negotiation now; we need competitive terms from Argentina.

For 2006, prospects for economic growth and the automotive industry are positive. Most economists are predicting growth of 3.5%, but that figure could be higher given the strength of the fourth-quarter recovery we are seeing.
