In an event aimed at foreign investors, the Federal Government says it has high expectations for investments and job creation in the country

The entity also points out that Brazil offers unique opportunities to investors from all over the world, due to its potential and the legal and economic security that prevails in the country. The expectation is that foreign investors will invest R$ 261 billion and generate around 22 jobs.

Investment situation with the pandemic

The Federal Government says that the current health crisis of covid-19 in the country may cause concerns, however, that it does not have the power to compromise the long term of one of the largest economies in the world, also saying that Brazil is prepared to offer unique opportunities for investors from all over the world due to its potential, as well as its legal and economic security.

During the event, which has the participation of 101 countries, expressive goals were highlighted. According to the Government, 60 projects with a potential investment of US$ 72 billion will be presented during the event. Based on the proposals presented, Brazil is expected to receive US$ 50 billion in investments, in order to generate 22 jobs between 2021 and 2022, says the Federal Government, who also added that the Brazilian economy has already resumed its growth and generation of jobs.

Investments and relations with South American countries

The Government has also stated that it has never considered development and sustainability as opposites, but that it does wish to see investment, science, technology and innovation convert into increased employment and income for the Amazonian populations. In this context, the Federal Government also defended an intensification and greater economic interaction with countries in the Mercosul and South America.

Also present at the meeting, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Alberto França, tried to minimize international criticism of the Government regarding its environmental posture and defended sustainable development. The minister says that the forestry code was designed to restrict excessive deforestation and encourage reforestation and soil recovery, permanently making Brazil one of the countries with the largest protected areas on the entire planet.

A group of experienced professionals in the sector got together and created the Emerge Project, which proposes a revitalization of the naval industry sector. The idea will be presented to the Federal Government and promises to turn the page of Lava Jato, resuming the construction works in the shipyards and, therefore, generating many job openings, including in the oil and gas sector, if Petrobras returns to place orders in the Brazil.

Despite having excellent professionals, Brazil is currently facing a crisis in the naval sector and we have to face shipyards ready to work, but which are practically stopped and/or abandoned. Construction of vessels that could be done here is being carried out in Singapore and Korea.
