Brazil has a diversified economy offering great prospects for investment in all sectors: from infrastructure to telecommunications, from industry to agribusiness, from tourism to services. Experience has shown that foreign capitals invested there have yielded compensatory returns even when the economy is not bubbling with dynamism.

The fifth largest country in territorial extension, it covers an area in excess of 8.5 million square km and with a population of nearly 180 million. The GDP in the area of US$500 billion places its economy among the biggest in the world. Its economic stability, strengthening of political institutions and potential consumer market, place Brazil, among the emerging countries, as one of the principal focus to attract foreign capital
