Brazilian industry: tipping point
Brazilian industry: tipping point
If the country wants to have a development lever in the industrial sector, it will have to review its strategy.
Labor, raw material, taxes and energy make up the bulk of its costs, since it is a sector, which is in Brazil, of low added value.
Labor: the cost for an industry is twice the salary paid to the employee, given all the mandatory social charges.
Raw material is generally backed by commodities. Prices follow international standards.
Taxes and energy in Brazil are very high compared to the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), our competitors.
So: do we want to improve, or will we maintain the route of GDP loss (in relation to other countries)? Do we intend to "turn around this situation" or "let it go"?

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
