What is the Brazilian Real?

The Brazilian Real (BRL) is the currency of Brazil, issued by the Central Bank of Brazil. It is subdivided into 100 centavos. The Real was introduced in 1994 to replace the Brazilian Cruzeiro, which had suffered from severe inflation.

The Brazilian economy is the largest in Latin America and the ninth largest in the world by nominal GDP. The Real's value fluctuates with global economic conditions, commodity prices, and Brazil's own economic performance.
