Brazil was negatively affected by factors such as the economic environment and education, in the latest industrial competitive classification prepared by the National Union of Industry (CNI). In the study, which was expected to broadcast (the real time news system in the government group), the Brazilian entity compared to 17 other countries competing with the country in the international market, taking into account eight factors that affect the performance of companies all over the world.
The three aspects of the result negatively were the economic environment; Human development and work; Education. In all of them, Brazil ranked last in the ranking. Initially, the high cost of financing in the country is one of the historical obstacles to this industry. Currently, the high level of SEIC is enhanced by 14.25 % annually, this effect.
In this scenario, the sector celebrates the fact that the current government has I launched an industrial policyNova Indústria Brasil (NIB), which includes credit strand led by the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDes). To find out the effects of the program, respectively, it will be necessary for more time. Currently, FabríCio Silveira, director of CNI industrial policy, is classified as “great progress”, including an increase since its launch a year ago. Funding forecasts by plan from 300 billion dollars to $ 507 billion by 2026.
“We are talking about policies that generate incentives for technical transformation and technological transformation in some sectors. These are the policies that will generate incentives, for example, in forming workers. Industrial policy in the world generally requires five to ten years to evaluate them,” says Silverira, calling for the need for the plan to become a permanent state policy.
The tax environment was another aspect that helped play Brazil in the last position in classifying the economic environment. In this case, CNI realizes that the country will live a great progress with tax reform. But it warns that it is necessary to be careful with the regulations, especially so that the tax exceptions do not make the average tax rate for the new consumption tax very high.
The CNI study shows that in any of the Crudians that make up the arrangement, the country was in the first half of the classification. On the side in which the country works better in low carbon performance and natural resources, it occupies the twelfth place. The positive highlight of the carbon removal branch was second in the arrangement. According to CNI, it will remain necessary for the country to progress in terms of the circular economy, which was badly in Brazil.
CNI has published the standings since 2010. In this edition, the entity brought systematic changes, while redefining countries competing with Brazil. Now, the study highlights economies that have a production basket closer to the country’s basket and are present in the same markets, both at the level of import and export.
Comparisons were made with South Korea, the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, China, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, the United States, Turkey, Chile, India, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Mexico. Understanding the competitiveness of these countries against Brazil and what internal problems will also attack them in the new global scenario, where chains are redesigned through Donald Trump’s tariff policy in the United States.
Silvera, of CNI, says that although Brazil’s performance in the arrangement was bad, the results also reveal the “flexibility” of the Brazilian industry. “In the midst of a negative economic business environment and an economic environment, which we can still reach these markets competitively with some of our companies,” the supervisor says.
Human development and education
In the human development and work factor, where the country also appeared in the last position, which leads between the two countries, South Korea. Labor relations, which refer to Brazil at the sixteenth; Health and Safety, where country 15; The diversity, fairness and integration, in which the penultimate place occupies, are the pharaohs who were considered in the classification. Initially, for example, topics related to relying on work regulations and their impact on commercial activity were analyzed.
Indeed in the Sub -Education Association, which was also transferred to Brazil to the last place for survey, educational training problems, such as low technical education commitment and low training in science and technology specialists, were questions that negatively affected the country. In this factor, the person who occupies the first position is Germany.
Ricardo Alban said, “The quality of the poor education directly affects the labor market and economic development,” Ricardo Albani said.
In five other indicators, Brazil was also less than average in the classification of industrial competitiveness. In the performance of international trade and integration, led by the United States, Brazil ranked 14th. In this case, there are challenges in issues such as integrating the industry with international trade, and participating in the exports of the medium and high technology industry in the field of export. In the infrastructure, in which the Brazilians live with chronic problems, the country occupies the fifteenth place. CNI says: “The points that need more improvement are the quality of the highways, the intensity of the rail network and the efficiency in the ports,” says CNI.
Brazil was in the same place in the classification of productive development, innovation and technology. But in the sub -factor of science, technology and innovation, the country was better, in the twelfth place, with indicators of economic complexity associated with research and investment in research and development, ninth and eleventh place, respectively. “Not every country in the world has a structure with the Sinai logo, for example. Not every country has federal universities that apply research. We also have good examples of promotion institutions like Finep,” says Silvera about the Brazilian progress in this part.
