巴西经济在2015～2016年连续两年深度衰退后，终于在2017年和2018年迎来复苏，多项经济指标转好。三类产业均实现了不同程度的增长，但是政府财政负担依然较重。通货膨胀率和基准利率实现了同步下降，汇率水平基本稳定，货币政策保持了一定的政策空间。经济困境在一定程度上限制了巴西的对外政策，尤其是新总统上台之后外交政策出现新特点。但是，南南合作依旧是巴西对外政策的重点，立足南南合作、保证巴西经济发展和提升巴西的国际地位是回归民主化以来巴西历届政府的外交战略内容之一。其中，金砖国家、非洲国家和南美洲国家是巴西南南合作的具体支点。当前，在全球化出现逆流且新兴经济体遭遇增长困境的大背景下，巴西的对外战略值得关注。
In 2017，the economy of Brazil finally recovery from deep recession during 2015 and 2016，with several improving economic indicators. All three industries have achieved varying degrees of growth，but the government’s financial burden is still heavy. The inflation rate and benchmark interest rate haven fallen while the exchange rate level is basically stable. The economic recession has partly limited the foreign policy of Brazil with new characters when Termer assumes the duty of president. However，South-South Cooperation remains an important role in external policy of Brazil. It’s one of the strategic contents of democratic Brazilian government to base in South-South Cooperation，to guarantee the economic development and to rise international status of Brazil. The BRICS，African countries and South American countries are the most important partners of South-South Cooperation. Currently，with the reversal of globalization and economic woe of emerging economies，it’s meaningful to concern the Brazil’s foreign strategy.
