The Main Products Purchased in Santa Catarina During January Were Processed Industrial Inputs, Such as Flat Rolled Steel Coatings and Refined Copper, in Addition to Items for the Automotive Industry. The State Also Expanded Its Imports of Vehicles, Yachts, and Automobiles from Mexico, Along with Rubber Tires and Parts and Accessories for Vehicles from China.

The Increase in External Purchases at the Ports and Airports of the State Has Been Fundamental in Encouraging the Local Economy.” The Benefited Sectors Include Retail, Maritime/Land Transport, and Financial Services – All of This Contributed to Generating Thousands of New Jobs Directly Related to the Imports Made.
