En chiffres
The government of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is evaluating new measures to mitigate the negative effects of the additional 25 percent customs tariffs imposed by the US on Brazilian products. Initially, work began within the framework of the "Sovereign Brazil Plan III", which announced a financing package of 18.5 billion Brazilian Reals. The economic administration is now focusing on complementary policies aimed at the specific needs of the production sectors.
Government officials met with representatives of 22 different sectors most affected by the US trade restrictions to make assessments. Based on the fact that each sector is affected by the tariffs to varying degrees, the aim is to develop sector-specific solutions to protect production and employment. Among the alternatives being considered is the expansion of public procurement, aiming to support local producers and stimulate domestic demand.
On the other hand, while the business world welcomed the announced credit package, it demands a reduction in the bureaucracy involved in accessing financing. Industry representatives emphasize the need to solve structural problems that reduce the competitiveness of national companies and are called the "Brazil Cost". Sector officials point out that the heavy tax burden makes it difficult for Brazilian companies to compete in the global market and find new markets.
