Brazil's two biggest companies have posted record profits for 2010, in the latest sign of the South American nation's growing economic might.
The oil giant Petrobras - which is partly state-owned - made $20bn (£12.4bn).
The mining company Vale made $17.3bn (£10.7bn), more than tripling its profits of the year before.
