Resumo
This work make an analysis of the Brazilian interest rates, and the main features of the sovereign nominal rates curve, with emphasis on fixed income securities issued by the government in local currency (Reais), in both the domestic and foreign markets, where we note the occurrence of a phenomenon quite peculiar, which is the diferential in the yield and the maturity existing between the two markets. Arida, Bacha and Lara-Resende (2004) conjecture about the existence of an inherent risk to the country, called 'jurisdictional uncertainty' related to Brazilian institutions, and that would be behind the high interest rates and the absence of a long-term domestic credit market. It is also done a more detailed diagnosis of the possible causes of the longer maturity phenomenon and lower yield on securities issued in foreign markets compared to securities issued in the local market, noting that both phenomena - the high Brazilian interest rates and the absence of a market long-term interest rates - are directly related. The conclusions on the possible causes of the yield differential between local and foreign securities issued in Reais envolve both quantitative factors, related to investment costs in Brazil and convertibility risk, which in part contributes to increase required yields for local securities, as well as qualitative factors, such as worse institutions in Brazil compared to the external institutions. The difference in the maturity of the two securities also comes from institutional issues, which, to some extent, reaffirms the theory of 'jurisdictional uncertainty' to explain this phenomenon.
