Brazil Summit
Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America and a business and economic powerhouse.
Historically high prices for commodities are benefiting Brazil’s exports of minerals, beef, soy and iron ore and the country is likely to boost its share in global trade. Nearshoring is also on the rise as global supply chains are being reconfigured. On top of this, the private sector is playing an active role in Brazil’s decarbonisation strategy, with ambitious carbon capture and storage, green hydrogen and low-carbon biofuels projects being announced in recent months.
Join the 2023 summit to discuss Brazil’s economic and business environment, the opportunities to unlock the country’s enormous potential, its place in global affairs and the latest trade and investment trends.
Key agenda themes will include:
Macroeconomic scenarios, political and institutional outlook
What has changed? Policy priorities under a new Government.
