Support from BNDES and Internationalization of Companies

However, he stated that it is necessary to overcome a limitation that he considers crucial. He declared that no major country can export services without providing credit support, pointing out that this is an essential condition to enable contracts and give competitiveness to national companies.
Recovery of Financing Capacity
Lula stated that the government is working for BNDES to recover its capacity to finance the internationalization of Brazilian companies. The proposal is to resume the support model for projects abroad, in line with the strategy to increase Brazil’s presence in African markets and strengthen economic relations between the two countries.
