FAQs About Doing Business in Chile

Why Invest in Brazil?

Brazil is one of the largest economies in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the gross domestic product (GDP) recorded in 2023. In that year, the value of goods and services produced in Brazil reached an estimated $2.12 trillion USD, based on current values.

The country boasts a diverse and robust economy driven by key industries such as agribusiness, where it leads global production and exports of soybeans, sugarcane, and coffee; mining, as the largest exporter of iron ore and a significant producer of gold, aluminum, and oil; and renewable energy, with hydropower as its main energy source and growing investments in wind, solar, and ethanol production.

This economic strength, combined with abundant natural resources and opportunities for growth, makes Brazil a prime destination for investment.
