Significance They should confirm that the recovery is on track, with a growth rate similar to that seen in the first quarter. The demand breakdown, due for release on September 4, will allow assessment of the growth contribution from domestic and external demand. Since mid-2014, the euro has weakened significantly against the currencies of the euro-area's two major trading partners, the United Kingdom and the United States. However, whether the depreciation has boosted the euro-area's exports and improved its trade balance remains unclear. GDP data up to the first quarter suggest the opposite, while detailed monthly trade data show that the euro's depreciation has coincided with a recovery in the extra-euro-area exports of several member countries. Impacts The extra-euro-area trade balance will improve further, both for the euro-area as a whole and for most member countries. Changing export volumes will have ripple effects on intra-euro-area trade and, in coming months, also on overall activity. External trade will make a positive contribution to growth in the second half of 2015 and an even stronger one in 2016. China takes too small a share of euro-area exports for its slowdown to affect the area's trade significantly.

Technological Intensity

The objective of this study is to analyze the determinants of Brazilian exports by levels of technological intensity in the period 2000-2015. Gravity models were estimated for total of the exports and for each type of exports by levels of technological intensity, using the PPML-estimator. The study indicates that there is a process of concentration of Brazilian exports in low technology and medium-low technology products, at the same period in which China's share of total Brazilian shipments abroad grew. Estimates of empirical gravity models have shown that the income and size of the consumer market of Brazil’s trading partners seem to have the greatest positive influence on the Brazilian exports. Indications of this study are that the Brazil should continue to diversify its trading partners to minimize the impacts of a possible reduction of the economic growth of large trading partners (such as China and the US) on its exports and increase its exports of products with greater technological intensity. The results also highlight the need for Brazil to make greater efforts to increase its competitiveness in the international market to reduce the negative impacts of transport costs on the final prices of products exported by the country.
