Brazil is well positioned to become one of the world's leading economies in the next 10 to 15 years. Goldman Sachs states that Brazil, Russia, India and China (the "BRIC" nations) are destined to become the world's most dominant economies in the future, eventually containing more than 39 percent of the world's total population. This will make Brazil the fifth largest economy in the world by 2050. Brazil is home to 190 million people and has a free market and export-oriented economy with a GDP surpassing a trillion dollars, and 1.8 trillion in purchasing power parity, making it the eighth largest economy in the world and the third largest in the Americas. Brazilian agriculture is also a dynamic sector. For the past two decades, it has kept Brazil among the most highly productive countries in the world. Agriculture and mining have resulted in record trade surpluses, massive currency gains and external debt pay-down. Brazil's industrial sector accounts for 60% of South America's industrial production. Scientific and technological development has averaged US$ 20 billion per year for the last few years, up from only US$ 2 billion per year in the last decade. Among other areas, Brazil's growing technology sector is involved in submarines, aircraft, space research and deep-water oil extraction research. Brazil is energy self-sufficient, a position further strengthened by the world's biggest oil find since 2000 - a new field 155 miles off the coast of southern Brazil. Once in full production, Brazil will become one of the world's main oil exporters. Brazil's oil reserves, dominance in biofuels, and hydroelectric power generation assure investors that energy will be available to sustain future economic growth. In an age when the planet faces a water crisis, Brazil has the world's richest supply of freshwater resources. The real estate market is in good shape. Brazil is in a buyer's market, and received a second-place ranking on NuWire's list of the Top 5 Latin American Real Estate Markets last year. All of this leads many potential investors to ask "What does Brazil not have?" Harsh winters is all that springs to mind. We are offering a special 10-day investors' tour to Brazil, highlighting opportunities you can see for yourself.
