After a change of government in late 2018, Brazil’s economy is slowly but surely picking up again. Over the past few years sustainable investments in the sectors oil, gas and infrastructure were required since many machines and plants in the country had become outdated. The next two years will see increased investment in these segments continue.
This means Brazil is an attractive market with growth potential for the suppliers of machinery and plants for agriculture, the construction and energy sectors and the automotive industry.
After China, the USA and Argentina, Germany is the fourth most important supply country for Brazil. This is also why new machines and equipment account for one quarter of the imports from Germany.

Künstliche Intelligenz: Für mehr Produktivität braucht es die richtigen Rahmenbedingungen
Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) wird ein hohes Potenzial für ökonomische und gesellschaftliche Disruption zugeschrieben. Auch im Bereich der Produktivitätsentwicklung sind die Erwartungen groß. KI kann bereits heute Arbeitsprozesse massiv vereinfachen und beschleunigen. Daher lohnt es sich – abseits von utopischen bzw. dystopischen Zukunftsvisionen –, auf Basis aktueller Studien einen Blick auf konkret zu erwartende Auswirkungen auf die Wirtschaftsentwicklung zu werfen.
