SAO PAULO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Services activity in
Brazil rose 3.1% in December from the previous month, statistics
agency IBGE said on Thursday, well above expectations as
economists had forecast a median increase of 1.0% percent in a
Reuters poll.
On a yearly basis, services activity in Latin America's
largest economy rose 6.0% in December, IBGE added, also topping
economists' projections of 3.9%.
