Macro Brazil • We expect GDP to contract 1.0% in

2015 after the slight increase of 0.1% in 2014

• Inflation forecast is at 8.2% for 2015, above the mid-point target (6.5%), despite the weak GDP growth, due to the corrections in monitored prices;

• COPOM continued the Selic rate hikes in 2Q15 putting it at 13.25%;

• Confidence indicators plummeted in 1Q15, reaching levels consistent with recession;

• Dilma Roussef started her second term implementing a turnaround in the fiscal policy;

• The appointment of a recognized austere MoF, Joaquim Levy, was the first sign of this reversal, followed by several fiscal measures;

Citi believes that sustainability is good business practice. We work closely with our clients, peer financial institutions, NGOs and other partners to finance solutions to climate change, develop industry standards, reduce our own

environmental footprint, and engage with stakeholders to advance shared learning and solutions. Highlights of Citi’s unique role in promoting sustainability include: (a) releasing in 2007 a Climate Change Position Statement, the

first US financial institution to do so; (b) targeting $50 billion over 10 years to address global climate change: includes significant increases in investment and financing of renewable energy, clean technology, and other carbon-

emission reduction activities; (c) committing to an absolute reduction in GHG emissions of all Citi owned and leased properties around the world by 10% by 2011; (d) purchasing more than 234,000 MWh of carbon neutral power for

our operations over the last three years; (e) establishing in 2008 the Carbon Principles; a framework for banks and their U.S. power clients to evaluate and address carbon risks in the financing of electric power projects; (f)

producing equity research related to climate issues that helps to inform investors on risks and opportunities associated with the issue; and (g) engaging with a broad range of stakeholders on the issue of climate change to help

advance understanding and solutions.

Citi works with its clients in greenhouse gas intensive industries to evaluate emerging risks from climate change and, where appropriate, to mitigate those risks.
