With New Projections for the Oil Industry, Urban System Ranks Macaé as One of the Best Cities for Investments

In the State of Rio, Macaé is the second best city to invest in businesses. The municipality only trails behind the capital. In third place in the state is Niterói. The ranking is part of a study by the consulting firm Urban System for the magazine Exame, recently released. The municipality ranked 21st in Brazil. A total of 310 cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants were analyzed. The consulting firm evaluated 28 indicators across four categories: economic development, human capital, infrastructure, and social development. This is the fourth edition of the study.

Since 2014, Urban Systems has been compiling, at the request of the magazine Exame, the ranking of the 100 Brazilian municipalities that offer the most favorable conditions for the establishment of companies.
In addition to being the main hub for offshore operations in the Campos Basin, Macaé continues to develop its economy: 18,715 active companies. Of this total, 854 are focused on the oil sector. In overall revenue, from January to October 2017, the revenue from the Service Tax (ISS) was R$ 383,668,134.40.

Another factor contributing to the investment climate in business is the development of an entrepreneurial culture. In the last four years, the number of individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEIs) in the municipality has grown by about 50%. Today, there are nearly 12,000 registered individuals at the Casa do Empreendedor – a space aimed at speeding up the processes of opening businesses and obtaining municipal operating licenses. There are 70 new CNPJs (MEIs) per month.

Qualification also stands out. From 2013 until now, the Deputy Secretary of Professional Qualification has trained approximately 9,300 professionals in various fields. Last year, 2,500 individuals were qualified. Currently, the agency, linked to the Secretary of Education, offers 20 courses aimed at integrating these students into the job market. (A.N.).
