Origin Business Engineering B.V. 6 Origin Brazil- Culture and Language » Primary Attribute: Brazil is not like the rest of Spanish‐Speaking Latin America, and they are proud of it. » Brazilian culture is diverse in nature. An ethnic and cultural mixing of Indians, Portuguese and Africans. Italian, German, Spanish and Japanese immigrants settled Brazil and created a multicultural and multiethnic society. Brazil was a colony of Portugal for over 3 centuries. The Portuguese arrived during this period (nearly 1 million) and brought their culture. Brazil is a member of The Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP).
7.

Origin Business Engineering B.V. 7 Origin Brazil culture, language and religion » The native inhabitants had strong contact with colonists. » Many exterminated, while others mixed with the Portuguese. » Brazil holds Amerindian influences in its culture, food and language (Brazilian Portuguese has hundreds of words of Indian origin, mainly from the Tupi‐Guarani). » Brazil has the largest Catholic population in the world. Many other beliefs have been incorporated into the Brazilian Catholicism: • Spiritism, • Buddhism, • Hinduism, • Ayahuasca, • Judaism as well as religious syncretism, such as • Candomblé, • Umbanda, • Macumba, which mix Catholicism with African tribal religions.

Origin Business Engineering B.V. 8 Origin Politics – President Lula » Lula’s second presidency was a step towards democratic consolidation; » Orthodox expenditure policies permitted an increased emphasis on anti‐poverty initiatives; » It boosted Lula’s popularity, despite scandals that emerged in 2005; » For his second term, Lula announced an economic program that would accelerate GDP growth through increased Government investment. » Earns lot of respect from business arena in Brazil; » Original Petrobras director; » Has supported with success the monetary policy set in by former president Henrique Cardoso who was able to tame the hyperinflation that has a big influence on the country in the 1990’s; » Currently Mr. Henrique Mereilles is heading the Central Bank of Brazil and has so far supported and sustained the anti inflationary policy of this predecessor;

Origin Business Engineering B.V. 10 Origin Politics- Lula » Lula’s second presidency was a step towards democratic consolidation. » Orthodox expenditure policies permitted an increased emphasis on anti‐poverty initiatives. » It boosted Lula’s popularity, despite scandals that emerged in 2005. » For his second term, Lula announced an economic program that would accelerate GDP growth through increased Government investment. » “Growth Acceleration Plan” (January 2006) included investment projects and two long term fiscal norms that will influence more than a third of federal expenditure. » The norms are: Increase minimum wage (2008‐2011). Proposal already became Law. Limit annual increases in spending on federal government personnel. Not surprisingly this proposal is struggling to pass congress. • Federal Government Personnel controls the institutions of Brazilian Government. Their multiple benefits are stipulated in the Brazilian Constitution.
11.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 11 Origin Politics- Party System » The party system is weak in this electoral system, which forms a single constituency within each state, then votes on hundreds of candidates. Congressional representatives show greater loyalty to interest groups. Discipline is weak for members of Political Parties. The highly fragmented legislature makes it difficult for any party to secure a majority. Fragile coalitions are the norm. Individual politicians exert great influence, and switching party allegiances is common. » The Partido dos Trabalhadores embraces views from traditional socialist to pro‐market Social‐democrat, like Lula. » His views are not universally accepted within the PT. » The Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro has been an important factor in all legislatures since the return to democracy. » It has lent its support to both Cardoso and Lula, receiving concessions in return. The party’s size and internal divisions produce unstable coalitions. » Its bargaining power increased after a majority of the party granted official support to Lula in 2006.
12.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 12 Origin Economy: The Real » In 1994 Brazil adopted a fixed exchange rate to manage inflation. » Effective in ending hyperinflation, also affected competitiveness. » Now Targeted Inflation Rate is used to manage inflation. » The Real is “free” to move with the market. » Since Lula’s presidency, the Real’s nominal exchange rate has been volatile. Currently the exchange rate is at R1.75:US$1, compared to R4:US$1 during the 2002 presidential elections. The appreciation of the Real has made a lot of other Brazilian products more expensive and less competitive in international markets.
13.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 13 Origin Economy: Bovespa » The Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo (Bovespa) stock market outstanding growth in recent years. » Largest stock exchange in Latin America reaching a record level of US$723 billion in 2006. » The Bovespa index broke records in 2007, as international credit rating agencies put Brazil at one notch below investment grade. As a result of abundant liquidity in global stock markets and business confidence, number of IPOs rose from zero in 2002 and 2003, 26 in 2006 and 30 in the first half of 2007. Foreign investors account for 35.5% of all investment in stock market in 2006, up from 32.8% in 2005.
14.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 14 Origin Economy: The Banking Sector » Brazil’s banking sector is solid, diversified, and well regulated. » At the end of 2006, the banking sector had total assets of US$875 billion and employed around 425,000 people. » Average return on equity for 2006 stood at 23% for the second consecutive year. » During 2006, total credits increased 21%. » Lula’s government is trying the increase credit amounts for micro‐credits by means of his Growth Acceleration National Program.
15.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 15 Origin Economy: Production and Employment » In 2007 and through to October of 2008, the Gross Domestic Product has grown 4,7% and 5,2%. Somewhat inferior to the growth experienced in the region. » Consumption is primary type of expenditure, 80% of the GDP. » Brazil’s Balance of Trade is positive, representing 26% of the GDP for 2006. This percentage has dropped since 2004 (29%GDP). Explained by the increase in Consumption, creating demand on imports. » The open unemployment rate in 2006 was 10%. » Commerce and the Industrial and Service Sectors accounted for 520,000 new jobs.
16.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 16 Origin Labor Laws- CLT » “The Brazilian worker is a worker surrounded by laws on all sides but dead from hunger. So many laws! But we lack one to keep him from dying of hunger.—Minas Gerais trade union leader from the 1950s (French, 2004)”. The rights and duties of employers and employees in Brazil are set out in the “Consolidation of Brazilian Labor Laws – CLT”, issued in 1943. This system of labor and social security laws was "quite elaborate and advanced for an underdeveloped country which was just beginning to industrialize"—indeed, Brazil's system was considered "one of the most advanced in the whole world."
17.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 17 Origin Labor Laws: Benefits » Compulsory benefits add 60% to 80% in salary: Employers contribute 8.5% of wages to deferred‐salary account at the Length of Service Guarantee Fund (FGTS). Employers contribute 20% of employee’s wages to the National Institute for Social Security (INSS), the country’s public pension system, as well as a maximum of 8.8% on other social security taxes. The INSS coverage includes medical and hospital assistance; sick pay after 15 days of absence, at 70% of salary; maternity benefits of up to one month’s minimum wage; and retirement pay. » Paid vacations of 30 calendar days are granted after a full year of service. » Employees are granted full sick pay for the first 15 days of a documented illness. Female employees receive mandatory maternity leave of four months and male employees receive paternity leave of five days. A mandatory bonus of one month’s pay (called the 13th salary) must be 50%‐paid until November of each year. The remaining balance is traditionally paid at year‐end. » A transport subsidy for workers is mandatory for all employers. Companies must provide their employees with transport to and from work or subsidize their mass‐transit expenses by paying all such costs exceeding 6% of an employee’s gross salary. » Companies must pay into a national subsidized savings program for workers (PIS), administered by the national savings‐bank system. Such payments are deductible for purposes of corporate income tax and the social contribution on net profit.
18.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 18 Origin Social Issues: Distribution of Wealth and Industry » Brazil’s population is unevenly distributed across the regions. » The wealthiest region, encompassing the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, accounts for over one‐half of Brazil’s GDP. » Manufacturing is concentrated in the state of São Paulo. Fourteen cities have a population of over 1 million citizens. Although income inequality is a problem, increases in the minimum wage have had a significant effect in distribution of wealth.
19.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 19 Origin Crime » The level of crime in Brazil’s major cities is high. » Deficiencies in the security forces underpin concerns about the ability to contain the problem. Sporadic clashes between security forces and armed gangs spread panic among the population. A 3,000‐strong federal security force has been deployed in Rio de Janeiro since January 2007. Organized criminal groups are involved in robbing cargo from shipments, concentrating in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states.
20.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 20 Origin Social Issues: The Environment » Brazil is a world leader in renewable energy, namely hydroelectricity and ethanol. Nonetheless, rapid urbanization has contributed to high levels of pollution in major cities. » The Amazon forest and Brazil’s temperate forests are under threat from the expansion of forestry, farming and mining. » Over the last 30 years of the 20th century one seventh of the Amazon’s forested area was lost. » The rate of deforestation has declined in Brazil in recent years.
21.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 21 Origin Social Issues: Labor Unions » The power of Labor Unions has declined with economic liberalization and deregulation. » They maintain influence in the government and resist labor reform. Businesses argue that Brazil’s employment protection hampers employment creation. » The two main organizations : Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) and Força Sindical. » The Movimento dos Sem Terra for short (MST, the Landless Workers’ Movement) has emerged as a new political force. It has close ties with the PT, but has criticized Lula’s government for its slow push in land reform. » Businesses have a relatively powerful voice in politics. » Business organizations have worked alongside the PT government on reducing tax and administrative procedures. » They have objected to the government’s tight monetary policy and called for a reduction in the corporate tax.
22.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 22 Origin Social Issues: Education » Until the 20th century, Brazil was an underdeveloped nation with economic activity based on the primary sector, possessing an unskilled workforce. » With post‐war expansion, government focused on strengthening Brazil's University, while neglecting primary and secondary education. » Today, Brazil struggles to improve public education. » Despite its shortcomings, Brazil has progressed substantially in the last two decades. » School enrollment for children (7‐14) rose from 80.9% in 1980 to 96.4% in 2000. » In the same time period, 15‐17 age enrollment rose from 49.7% to 83%. Literacy rates went up from 75% to 86.4%. » As of 2002: Literacy rates for people aged 15 or older is 88.2% 6.2 years of formal education, on average. (Compare with 12 years in the U.S., 11 in South Korea and 8 in Argentina) 8.4 years for white people, 6.1 years for black people » As of 2006: The nation invests 4.3% of GDP on Education ‐ the federal government aims to increase gradually this number to 7%.
23.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 23 Origin Technology: Transportation » Brazil’s transportation infrastructure is below the curve: Only 12.5% of existing roads are paved. Even though roads are the most common means of transportation. Rail or waterway transportation is underdeveloped, even though it is significantly cheaper. Airline deregulations have brought price reductions in Air Cargo and now more than 150 cities have direct access; it is still comparatively expensive.
24.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 24 Origin Technology: Communication and Energy » Privatizations in the 1990s attracted major private investment into telecommunications sector; » Mobile‐phone penetration overtook fixed lines in 2003; » Since 1975 Brazil has used multiple sources of fuel for its transportation: petroleum, ethanol, and liquid gas; » Diversification was a result of high petroleum prices, and it is unique in the region; » The share of gas in the energy grid has increased to over 9%. Lula’s government has tried to reduce dependency on Bolivia’s gas and has announced plans to set up at least two plants in Brazil.
25.
2010 | ©
Origin Business Engineering B.V. 25 Origin Doing Business in Brazil » Opening a new corporation in Brazil takes 18 different procedures and last 152 days on average; » In the Doing Business Report 2008, which appraises 182 different countries, Brazil ranked 172 in ease of opening a new company; India was 181 » Environmental licensing: No predictability to when the environmental license will be issued, or what the cost of environmental compensation will be; » Brazil is one of the few countries in the world that taxes investment.
