Investment Opportunities in Brazil 2012-2017: Country and City Analysis, October 2012
Brazil’s economy is expected to witness modest growth to reach US $3.17 trillion in 2017 with a CAGR of 4.3% over the next five years. A wealth of natural resources, strong domestic demand, and burgeoning metropolitan areas offer significant opportunities for investment and growth.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed investment opportunities in Brazil and presents its findings in “Investment Opportunities in Brazil 2012-2017: Country and City Analysis.”
As per the study, high interest rates and rising tax rates are a major challenge to the Brazilian economy. The high tax is increasing the price of goods and services, while interest rates impact growth in the real estate and automobile sectors. The cut in interest rates in December 2011 is expected to have positive impact on the economy.
Lucintel’s research indicates that major metros such as Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, and Belo Horizonte are becoming the hubs of industrial activities because of significant growth in the Brazilian economy. Sao Paulo and Campinas are hubs of the automobile industry, and Port Alegre, Curitiba, and Campinas are becoming centers of the electrical and electronics industry. Tourism, banking, and financial services are strongly driving service sector while the automobile and iron and steel industries give strength to Brazil’s manufacturing sector.
Lucintel’s research indicates that urbanization is expected to influence almost every state in Brazil. Thus, in terms of GDP and population, many Brazilian cities are estimated to become larger and grow substantially. This change in Brazil’s economic composition is likely to lead to expansion of cities.
