News Analysis
With its agreement on terms for an International Monetary Fund loan, Brazil appears to have temporarily applied the brakes to its rush toward the status of a great industrial power. It was difficult for us to say, stop, and we needed someone else to come in and tell us to do it, said Ruy Barreto, head of the National Confederation of Chambers of Commerce.

And there is a growing and widely expressed belief that the loan and the austerity program mark the end of the drive for major economic development, a drive that has been managed by a small team of technically minded decision-makers within the military Government that has dominated Brazilian politics for years, and is now giving way to a greater measure of civilian rule.
