PESTLE Analysis of Brazil 2014, August 2014
The Brazilian economy is dominated by the service sector which contributed approximately 66% to the total GDP in 2013. The country went through the global recession in 2009, but strong fundamentals have led the country to survive the crisis. Brazil presents strong investment opportunity in crude oil refining. The country has oil reserves which contribute approximately 0.9% to the global oil reserves. Brazil provides long-term opportunities in the oil and gas sector and at least 70% of the pre-salt areas remain untapped. Petrobras, which is the dominant player in upstream oil sector, is planning to invest in the oil and gas sector for exploration and production through partnerships.
