Doing Business in Brazil
Why Brazil?
Brazil is gaining increased attention from the international media and global investors. Many years of solid monetary and fiscal policies have allowed the country to face turbulences and global financial crisis soundly. Huge reserves of oil have been recently discovered in the pre-salt layer of its ocean waters and it has become known worldwide as a developer of alternative energy sources, such as ethanol and biodiesel. Here are some data and information on the country:
• The 9th Economy in the World;
• The economic engine of South America, with almost 50% of the market share, sharing borders with ten countries;
• Population of 190 million inhabitants with a large middle class expansion;
• Reached Investment Grade (Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s);
• Infra-structure investment of $ 280 billion in transport, energy, sanitation, housing and water resources through the Growth Acceleration Program - PAC
• Selected to host the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games;
• The biggest rain forest in the World and one of the biggest reserves of drinkable water;
• One of the major commodities reserves in the planet (Oil, Ores).
The Brazilian style of doing business is unique and may one day be a model for the world market. This business culture has emerged as a result of challenges, volume and size of the market, combined with a unique mix of cultures of the Brazilian people.
Business school students studying in Brazil will not only gain a sense of managing in the Latin America market, but they will also learn unique tools and skills that they can apply in their local economy.
