Central Bank Points to Historic Record in 2024, With Foreign Direct Investment Stock Reaching US$ 1.141 Trillion, Equivalent to 46.6% of GDP

The Brazil Closed 2024 with a Historic Achievement. The Stock of Foreign Direct Investment Reached US$ 1.141 Trillion, Which Corresponds to 46.6% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Data Was Released by the Central Bank (BC) This Friday (26), in Brasília, as Part of the Foreign Capital Census. This Is the Highest Percentage Ever Recorded Since the Beginning of the Series in 1995.

Evolution Over Time

In the 1990s, the Presence of Foreign Capital Was Modest. It Represented Only 6.1% of GDP in 1995. Five Years Later, It Had Already Increased to 17.1%. In 2010, It Reached 25.2%.

The 30% Mark Was Surpassed in 2019, with 34.6%. By 2023, the Index Had Already Reached 45%.

Capital Structure

Of the Current Total, US$ 884.8 Billion Corresponds to Equity Participation in Companies. Another US$ 256.4 Billion Are Intercompany Transactions, Such as Loans Between Subsidiaries and Parent Companies.

According to the Head of the Statistics Department of the BC, Fernando Rocha, This Type of Resource Stands Out Because It Strengthens the Productive Base. “It Is Typically Productive, Increases Installed Capacity, and Contributes to Productivity,” He States.

Companies Controlled by Foreigners

Rocha Also Highlighted That Most Recipient Companies Are Directly Controlled by Foreign Investors.

They Often Own 100% of the Capital or More Than 50%, Which Ensures Corporate Control.

This Characteristic Creates Closer Ties with Foreign Countries. Additionally, It Results in Greater Use of Imported Inputs and Reinforces the Presence of Exports.

Exchange Rate Effect

Despite the Record in Proportion to GDP, the Absolute Volume Decreased Compared to 2023, When the Stock Was US$ 1.3 Trillion. The Reason Is Currency Depreciation.

The Dollar Went from R$ 4.84 to R$ 6.19 Between the End of 2023 and 2024. Since Investments Are Made in Reais, the Conversion to Dollars Reduced the Final Figures.

Foreign Investment: Key Sectors and Countries

The Most Relevant Sectors Account for 40% of the Total: Financial Services, Trade, Electricity, and Oil Extraction.

The Countries That Invest the Most Are the United States, France, Uruguay, Spain, and the Netherlands. This Diversification Shows the International Reach of Capital in Brazil.

Mano , sinceramente isso aí não tem nada haver com política, ainda bem , que o atual governo não tá bem, ainda mais se você observar pelo tanto que o governo prometeu , mas enfim muita coisa acontece devido a situação externa .
Todo governo tem altos e baixos devido o cenário externo. É simples , mas as pessoas vem sempre com esse papo de lulistas e bolsonaristas ..

Recomendo estudar e é muito. Esta passando vergonha. Neste momento falta dinheiro para a saúde. Nem vou falar do contingenciamento de verbas da educação. Sabe porque dinheiro vai para banqueiros? Porque gastamos mais do que arrecadamos e como somos um país com juros elevados exatamente pelo mesmo motivo. Enquanto faltar um real para a saúde e educação, artista, cultura são dispensáveis. Entendeu? E não sei de onde tirou que nosso PIB é 12 trilhões. Nosso PIB é 2,1 trilhões, o da Índia 4 trilhões e o da China 18 trilhões. O dos EUA 30 trilhões.

Não amigo sua resposta está errada , quem paga imposto nessas proporções são apenas a classe trabalhadora , essas empresas estrangeiras que tem negócios no Brasil são recheadas de incentivos fiscais e ok ara 1,2 % do money investido … Por isso as reformas tributárias e de ir são tão importantes mas preferem debater anistia pra **** e PEC da bandidagem …

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

Why fighter pilots never return after ejecting: the seat launches the body at 600 km/h in 1 second, compresses the spine, reduces G tolerance, and leads to medical disqualification, not punishment.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Cabbage, kale, and broccoli are used to mine thallium metal in toxic soils and provide raw materials for the high-tech industry.

New air-powered artificial muscles allow machines to lift up to 100 times their own weight with fluid movements.

New system that detects danger, decides the ideal route, and overcomes obstacles in heavy cargo transportation

Researchers develop a new advanced encryption system to protect video files against the future threat of quantum computing attacks.

While other powers face challenges in making rockets more accessible, China is betting on the Lijian-2 with reusable technology, standardized engines, and large-scale production to accelerate space missions.
