Recent CNI Survey Reveals Industrial Concerns and Improvement in Credit Access in the 3rd Quarter of 2023.

The Brazilian industrial landscape in the third quarter of 2023 reveals persistent challenges. According to the recent Industrial Survey by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), many industrial entrepreneurs continue to signal insufficient domestic demand (33.9%), high tax burden (32.6%), and high-interest rates (25.3%) as the main obstacles to production.

Variations and Trends: Keeping an Eye on the Industrial Market

Despite these factors being traditionally highlighted as impactful, this quarter showed a decline of up to 6 percentage points compared to the previous quarter. On the other hand, there was an increase in the percentage of other challenges, such as unfair competition and issues related to the high cost or lack of qualified labor.

Marcelo Azevedo, Economic Analysis Manager, contextualizes: “Entrepreneurs were asked to identify up to three main challenges, and these two emerged strongly as the fourth and fifth options.”

The monitoring of inventory also brought interesting insights. The indicator for inventory evolution of general industry products rose, reaching 50.8 points, an increase of 0.3 points from August to September. This increase indicates that inventory levels are diverging from what was planned, leading many entrepreneurs to curb production and postpone new hires.

Inequalities in Hiring and Access to Credit

When it comes to jobs, the employment evolution index in the industry remained at 49.3 points in September 2023. This number, while below ideal, is in line with the historical average for September. However, large companies showed a more robust performance compared to small and medium-sized enterprises.

In the financial sector, the credit access indicator rose by 0.4 points this quarter, reaching 41.2 points. The good news is that this trend indicates a reduction in the perception of difficulty in accessing credit. However, this improvement was particularly noted in medium-sized companies, while small and large firms experienced a slight contraction.

Future Projections: What to Expect from the Industry?

Despite the variations in the Industrial Survey indicators, entrepreneurs remain generally optimistic for October. However, they exhibit greater caution regarding future demand and the acquisition of raw materials.

With this scenario, the Brazilian industry continues to seek adaptations, moderate optimism, and smart strategies to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the coming months.

Brazilian Industry Faces Challenges Amid Fluctuating Domestic Demand

Recent CNI Survey Reveals Industrial Concerns and Improvement in Credit Access in the 3rd Quarter of 2023.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

How much does it cost to build a well in 2026? See the average drilling values, regularization costs, and the most common extra expenses that may arise throughout the project.

In California, 1,300 retired Honda and Nissan batteries avoid going to waste and become a giant 25 MWh power plant, revealing how electric cars can continue powering the grid even after leaving the streets.

Seven neighbors came together, started with little money, rolled out dough by hand, and turned a homemade recipe into a women’s cooperative model that spanned decades in India.

Chinese rocket Kinetica-1 places more than 100 satellites in orbit in 14 flights, carries 15 tons of payload, and leads China’s commercial space market.
