Source text - English Desde o início dos anos 1990, a taxa real de juros foi sempre muito superior à taxa de crescimento da economia. Só entre 2007 e 2014 a taxa real de juros ficou apenas ligeiramente acima da taxa de crescimento. A partir de 2015, quando a economia entrou na mais grave recessão de sua história, com queda acumulada em três anos de quase 10% da renda per-capita, a taxa real de juros voltou a ser muito mais alta do que a taxa de crescimento. A economia cresceu apenas 1,1% ao ano em 2017 e 2018. Hoje, com a renda per-capita ainda 5% abaixo do nível de 2014, com o desemprego acima de 12% e grande capacidade ociosa, a taxa real de juros ainda é mais do dobro da taxa de crescimento. Como não poderia deixar de ser, a relação dívida/PIB tem crescido e se aproxima de níveis considerados insustentáveis pelo consenso macro-financeiro.
Translation - Portuguese Since the early 1990s the real interest rate has always been much higher than the economic growth rate. Only between 2007 and 2014 the real interest rate was slightly above the growth rate. From 2015 when the economy plunged into the most severe recession of its history, with a cumulative fall of almost 10% in per-capita income in three years, the real interest rate resumed to be much higher than the growth rate. The economy grew by only 1.1% per year in 2017 and 2018. Nowadays with a per capita income still at 5% below the 2014 level, with unemployment above 12% and large spare capacity, the real interest rate persists to be more than double the growth rate. As expected the debt/GDP ratio has grown and is approaching levels considered unsustainable by macro-financial consensus.

Bio
I am a Brazilian linguistic with more than 25 years of experience of teaching, translating and working with voice over. I lived in the USA, Argentina, and the UK. Being the only Brazilian in my family made me a language enthusiast and besides being a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese, I'm also an Argentinian Spanish native speaker. I can comfortably work with both target languages.
I started translating because of my passion for poetry. I still do poetry translation but not professionally. I have been a translator for many companies in Brazil such as Vale do Rio Doce, Petrobrás and a few other. When I lived in London, in 2015, I did some freelance localization for Badoo and worked as a Portuguese Teacher.
