Brazil's sea-borne container trade grew 1 percent in the first quarter of 2013 compared with a year earlier, showing a tentative recovery in Latin America's largest economy, according to Danish shipping company Maersk Line. Imports gained a sign of recovering domestic demand, while exports were negative in the quarter due to a slow-moving global economy that is buying less of Brazil's manufactured goods and contributing to the country's trade deficit. Legislation passed last week to open state-owned ports to greater private investment was a step in the right direction, said Peter Gyde, managing director of Maersk Line in Brazil. Brazil's economy expanded a disappointing 0.9 percent in 2012, and that private forecasts pointing to growth of between 2 and 3 percent this year were reasonable, Gyde said Automobile and transportation imports rose 10.3 percent and chemicals grew 9 percent, while finished manufacturing - primarily consumer goods, was up 5.7 percent.
