Obelisk Says Brazil's Boom Boosts Bank Balances

Obelisk Says Brazil's Boom Boosts Bank Balances

Whilst many countries around the world are facing financial turmoil, Obelisk says there is one market in particular rising high above the economic storms providing rich pickings for thousands of investors.

London, UK (PRWEB) May 19, 2008

News of economic changes now taking place in the Brazilian market are creating huge interest from around the world. The introduction of new credit facilities such as personal loans and mortgage lending which Obelisk believes are pushing up house prices in both the domestic and commercial sectors. Designer shops are springing up all over major cities and over 60,000 new millionaires have emerged in the last year alone.

Morgan Stanley's Emerging Markets Index have now reported that the Brazilian market as the largest emerging market and the discovery of oil reserves gives the country added income opportunities. As the global financial markets stand in awe at the country's array of commodities, it's booming property market and tamed inflation, Brazil is well on the path to becoming an investor's dream.

The bullish economy is naturally driving the Brazil property investment (http://www. obeliskinternational. com/Property_Investment_Brazil. htm) market. The housing shortage, which currently stands at 8 million, means demand is outstripping supply and as the population in and around the main towns and cities increase, so too does the requirement for more accommodation. Quality resorts and developments are under construction in and around the north east coast, most notably in Natal, in Brazil's Rio Grande do Norte region.

Obelisk client, Alan Roberts, who purchased property in Natal in 2007, comments, "I considered going into buy-to-let in this country (UK), but was concerned about continued good returns. I think the recent sub-prime crisis shows that my fears were well-founded."

International sports icons, such as Rubens Barrichello and David Beckham, are both contributing considerably to the development of Natal. Barrichello's new motor sports attraction and The David Beckham Academy will create heightened interest from international tourism. The worldwide awareness, created by these two projects alone, will not only add value to property in Natal (http://www. obeliskinternational. com/Property_Investment_Brazil. html), but will also increase demand for holiday rentals from the international and domestic tourism markets.

Property investment prospects have increased further in Natal after it was announced that the city is earmarked to host games in the 2014 Brazilian World Cup and Natal is expected to gain from a proposed development of a brand new football stadium.

Ten new golf courses are also planned and over US$1.8 billion worth of investment for new hotels and resorts in Natal indicate that levels of development funding are vast. In preparation, Natal's airport renovation and expansion, due to complete in 2010, will be able receive 5 million passengers, making it the largest airport in South America.

James Gonzalez, Market Analyst at Obelisk comments, "The outlook for Brazil's property market has been very buoyant for some time now. The news regarding the World Cup has heightened international interest and many areas, including Natal, have already seen the price per square metre increase by US$150."

Healthy economic growth, plentiful natural resources and an increase in disposable incomes, show that the party is just beginning with the carnival still in full swing for Brazil and Natal property investment (http://www. obeliskinternational. com/Property_Investment_Brazil. html).

Survey Takes Pulse on New Jobs in Health IT

Survey Takes Pulse on New Jobs in Health IT

The American Society of Health Informatics Managers (ASHIM) collects public opinion on new Health IT Jobs to better survey the growing needs of the healthcare industry, the health information technology profession and interests of the engaged American public.

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) February 10, 2010

The American Society of Health Informatics Managers (ASHIM) today published results of it survey on Health IT Jobs. ASHIM conducted this survey in response to data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, which indicated a national deficit of qualified Health IT (HIT) workers. Its purpose was to provide an early stage snapshot of the jobs activities taking place around HIT in the United States.

“While employers are ramping up to adopt Electronic Health Records (EHR), IT workers are looking to augment their skills to meet those needs and to effectively communicate their qualifications,” said ASHIM Senior Vice President Stephanie L. Jones. “ASHIM believes it is important to understand and support the evolving needs of the health care community and will continue conducting this survey, adjusting questions, to inquire about them.”

Survey results show that the hiring public is most interested in HIT professionals with both health care industry and IT experience. Participants of the survey believe Consultants and IT Application Trainers will fill most new positions; followed closely by new sales and technical IT positions. Responders also believe IT professionals will seek additional skills to work in HIT and that specialized HIT certification by working level IT professionals is valuable in the hiring process.
