Financial Stability Marks the End of Year for Micro and Small Industries

Brazilian Micro and Small Industries (MPIs) in 2023 are showing financial stability, with most not facing difficulties in paying the 13th salary, according to the 9th round of the Datafolha Survey commissioned by SIMPI.

Regional Variations in 13th Salary Payment

The survey indicates that 35% of MPIs do not expect to face problems paying the 13th salary this year. However, the situation is heterogeneous across different regions of Brazil. While the Northeast region shows 14% of businesses facing difficulties, the South region has 36% encountering greater challenges compared to the previous year. These data highlight significant economic changes in different regions.

Own Capital as Main Source of Payment

Surprisingly, 85% of MPIs plan to use their own capital to cover the 13th salary, reflecting a solid financial base. The Northeast region, on the other hand, stands out by resorting to loans from other sources. This trend reinforces the idea that MPIs are well positioned financially, despite regional variations.

Diversified Strategies for the 13th Salary

Interestingly, 21% of MPIs consider the possibility of paying part of the 13th salary with their own products or services. The Northeast is again notable, with 36% of businesses considering this option. This innovative approach could be a creative solution to financial challenges, especially in areas with specific economic difficulties.

Optimism for End-of-Year Sales

Regarding end-of-year sales, 43% of MPI leaders view the period between October and December as special for sales and revenue. On the other hand, 39% consider it a normal period and 17% see it as poor. Optimism is higher in the Northeast, where 52% of entrepreneurs see this period as special for sales, possibly influenced by regional economic trends.

About the Survey

Conducted by Datafolha at the request of SIMPI, the survey provides an accurate overview of the situation of MPIs in Brazil. Data collection took place between September 11 and 31, 2023, with 707 interviews conducted, reflecting a comprehensive view of the sector. For more information about the 9th edition of the National Indicator Survey of Micro and Small Industry, the Press Advisory team is available for inquiries.

These results demonstrate the resilience and adaptability of Brazilian Micro and Small Industries in a varied economic landscape, with different strategies to maintain financial stability and optimism for the future.

About the Survey

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Acelen advances with megabiorefinery in Bahia with a R$ 503 million investment released by BNDES and boosts the production of sustainable fuels with advanced technology capable of transforming vegetable oil and waste into green diesel and low-emission aviation fuel.

Nvidia wants to spend up to $150 billion annually in Taiwan, employ 4,000 people, and transform the new headquarters into a key piece of AI expansion.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.

The James Webb telescope detected the climate of a planet 280 light-years from Earth, with days hot enough to forge iron and nights covered by dense clouds, where winds reach 8,000 km/h.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.
