Industry

Brazil offers some of the best investment opportunities with numerous advantages: political and economical stability, a booming domestic market and a vast supply of natural resources. The country has moderate free markets, an inward-oriented economy with diverse industries, ranging from automobiles, steel and petrochemicals to computers, aircraft, and consumer durables. With increased economic stability provided by the Plano Real, Brazilian and multinational businesses have invested heavily in new equipment and technology.

The country’s services industry is diverse and relatively sophisticated. During the early Nineties, the banking sector accounted for as much as 16% of GDP. Although undergoing a major overhaul, Brazil's financial services industry provides local businesses with a wide range of products and is attracting numerous new market entrants.

According to the World Economic Forum, Brazil was the top country in upward evolution of competitiveness in 2009, jumping eight positions and leapfrogging Russia for the first time, and closing the competitiveness gap with the two other BRIC economies, India and China. Brazil is expected to break into the top five world economies in the decades ahead to come.
