Summary

Brazilian President Luiz In??cio Lula da Silva has pushed for an increase of more than 50% in Brazilian defence spending through to 2010. The country is developing a national defence plan, which may include increasing troop numbers in the Amazon, building nuclear and conventional submarines to protect offshore oil fields and modernise its weapons industry. It has signed an agreement with France to buy 50 military helicopters and five submarines, including one nuclear-powered vessel, the value of which could exceed $11bn. A seriously deteriorating economy could put pressure on these plans.

President Luiz In??cio Lula da Silva remains under pressure. The opposition Partido Movimento Democr??tico Brasileiro (PMDB) has control of both houses of parliament, and is seeking greater influence on national politics. This could threaten the ruling coalition and we wait to see if the PMDB will support Lula's presidential candidate, Dilma Rousseff, in next year's poll.
