Contents
Brazil is the eighth biggest economy in the world and a member of the BRICS group of emerging markets. As the biggest economy in Latin America it has been among the world’s most popular destinations for foreign direct investment. For German companies it has been a major destination for investment, making the South American market one of the biggest outposts of German business in the world. Despite its attractiveness, however, Brazil’s market is considered to be a very complex business environment. In addition, after a decade of growth Brazil has been facing economic problems over the past years and has been struck by the biggest corruption scandal in its history.
The seminar will examine Brazil’s economic basis, the business environment and the country’s structural economic problems that keep it from fulfilling its growth potential. Beyond the study of Brazil, the seminar will give insights into the broader topic of emerging markets by drawing comparisons between Brazil and its BRICS peers.
