Brazil has overtaken the UK as the world's sixth largest economy, according to a London-based research centre.
The shift is part of a larger trend in which emerging economies are out doing some European countries.
The south American country was still considered something of an economic underachiever a decade ago, but as its economy grew steadily in the past eight years, things started to change.
Government's anti-poverty measures further helped in lifting more than 40 million people into a new middle class.
Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo reports from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

@strictlaw On each and every video of Mexico you will see 3 kind of persons?, actually 4 kind of persons:
1- Arjentontos, all the time following & envying Mexico, criticizing all about it and labeling everybody as "indigena", 2)Gringous/Anglos, those who have been brainwashed by the american media and believe we Mexicans take La siesta laying on a cactus with a big hat. 3)Niggers communists aka Cubans, the scum on earth. 4)Los Malinchistas-paisanos who also have been brainwashed
