# Foreign-exchange inflows hit a record despite the dollar’s surge

> Brazil recorded net foreign-exchange inflows of $18.1 billion in October, the largest monthly total in the Central Bank’s series dating back to 1982. Exporters brought in most of the funds in the final week, while the financial account also posted a $3.07 billion inflow that week.

## Why it matters

Strong inflows can increase foreign-currency availability and support the real, putting downward pressure on USDBRL. The article also notes that the real had weakened sharply after the election, so the record inflow did not prevent that move.
