Prices And Recovery From The Pandemic:

According to the current Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, there will be few companies left, but the prices of products and services will continue to put enormous pressure on inflation.

Guedes also says that the manufacturing industry, which produces the most common consumer goods in the market, is trying to recover from the crisis caused by the pandemic and now has another concern, the rising prices and the shortage of steel.

Affecting More Sectors:

The market is so deregulated that there is no prediction for the delivery of products in the coming months. There is also a shortage of products in construction stores, such as steel and iron bars for slab construction, barbed wire, and even nails.

Another sector that has been impacted is the oil industry, which has suffered from rising prices and shortages. There is no delivery forecast. Without investment, some companies have already started laying off employees.
