Brazil, the fifth-largest country in the world (279 times the size of Belgium), has seen a striking economic boost since 2007. Furthermore, Brazil has increased its international visibility by hosting the Football World Cup (2014) and the Olympic games (2016). Providing the necessary infrastructure was, and still is, an opportunity for foreign companies and investors. Moreover, the Brazilian government has in recent years introduced various tax reduction measures to encourage international trade. In this way, Brazil is steadily increasing its presence on the world market. Brazil has also become a coveted business destination for Flemish companies: in 2013, Brazil was the second strongest growth market for Flemish export.
Based on the nominal GDP, Brazil, with over 200 million inhabitants, enjoys the status of being the world’s 7th largest economy. Characterised by well-developed agriculture, mining, manufacturing and service sectors and a fast-growing middle class, the Brazilian economy carries the greatest weight of all the South American countries.
Brazil offers unprecedented and often little-known opportunities for numerous European companies, for example in the agricultural industry, infrastructure, the automotive sector, the healthcare sector, etc. Moreover, a strong demand has recently arisen for Cleantech solutions. The opportunities in the Brazilian market are there for the taking – it is simply a case of grasping them.
It should be observed that Brazilian law and fiscal regulations are rather complex. Careful preparation, as well as a broad knowledge of the culture, subsidy programmes, and customs rules and rights, is not a luxury, but an essential requirement for successful investment.
