Brazil: Foreign direct investment and corporate strategies

Over the last 50 years, foreign direct investment (FDI) and transnational corporations have played an important role in Brazil’s economy. Currently, Brazil’s gross domestic product (GDP) is the eighth highest in the world, and its production capacity is complex and relatively sophisticated compared with the patterns of other developing countries. The development of this industrial base is, to some extent, the result of the deep and wide-ranging penetration of foreign capital in the Brazilian economy, principally in manufacturing.
