Brazilian Guide on Investment Opportunities 2017 BRAZILIAN GUIDE ON INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES 2017 Foreword Brazil is focusing on a new cycle of sustainable growth, based on an extensive adjustment process and the adoption of measures to improve competitiveness and productivity. The launching of the sixth edition of the Brazilian Official Guide on Investment Opportunities is aimed to support this new cycle of growth by identifying investment opportunities across the country. The guide presents trustworthy, systematized high level information to both foreign and domestic investors about specific projects. It provides direct contact information for each project, which fosters transparent relations between public and private entities Brazil offers a safe investment environment, full of business opportunities. In the past years, the country´s demand for infrastructure services has increased significantly. The Federal Government is promoting the modernization of its infrastructure with concessions, private financing and the participation of banks and investment funds. The expansion and improvement of infrastructure services will increase the competitiveness of the economy, by reducing logistics costs for industries, expanding exports and promoting efficiency in the flow of agricultural production. This new version of the Brazilian Guide on Investment Opportunities contains 137 projects in state and federal levels, totaling more than US$ 32 billion to be carried out in the near future. There are opportunities in various sectors such as energy, highways, railways, ports, airports, telecommunications, generation and transmission of energy, urban mobility, construction, tourism and many others. In the past years, Brazil has consolidated its position as a strong and attractive global player with a high degree of economic diversification. The country is currently the seventh largest economy in the world. With a privileged location in the east- central part of South America, it borders almost all other South American countries. This allows companies to access Latin American and African markets. A stable financial system, tradition of respect for contracts and huge domestic market make Brazil a safe place for investment. As an example, the country is currently the eighth biggest FDI destination in the world in 2016 according to UNCTAD. The organization of this Guide was implemented by the Brazilian Investment Information Network (RENAI), at the Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services (MDIC). The preparation of this Guide had valuable support and guidance of several Government partners as well as state and local Development Secretariats of all Brazilian regions. It is worth highlighting the participation of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the Ministry of Planning, Development and Management, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Transportation, Ports and Civil Aviation, the National Land Transportation Agency, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency, the National Agency on Telecommunications and the National Council of State Secretaries of Development, Industry and Trade, among others.

In the past years, Brazil has consolidated its position as a strong and attractive global player with a high degree of economic diversification and is currently the seventh largest economy in the world. The country is a vigorous democracy, with free multiparty elections and strong institutions. The economic development of the past years resulted in an expanded mass consumer market and increased social equality, an environment of institutional stability and increased social cohesion. Nearly 40 million Brazilians experienced significant improvements in their life conditions. In addition, Brazil has a large and fast growing consumer market, comprising 205 million people (IBGE). Its democratic government, stable financial system and huge domestic market make Brazil a safe place for investment and gives it the strength to weather international crises. The increase of purchasing power and the investment opportunities in sectors like oil and natural gas, generation and transmission of electrical power, real estate and agribusiness places Brazil as an attractive choice on investment. The country is currently the sixth biggest FDI recipient in the world (UNCTAD). It has a privileged location in the east-central part of South America, where it borders almost all other South American countries, allowing companies to easily access Latin American and African markets. Modern, efficient and competitive, the Brazilian agribusiness sector is a

  • Newsletter-2019-11-Compactado-3
    REPORT OF THE WORK AND FOWLER FAMILY MISSION Belo Horizonte - Brazil /November 2019 Dearest family, friends and brothers and sisters in Christ, Many of you ask us continually how we are doing physically. We decided to answer everyone en masse. Through all of our struggles we have done what we could. Many people tell us that we need to slow down and let our health improve in order to do what we are doing. If that were our attitude we would still be in bed, with others waiting on us hand and foot. We have only been able to improve because we kept going and doing what was (and still is) hard to do. Before LaJuana had back surgery to correct a pinched sciatic nerve, she experienced grueling pain at every step. She was finally able to do spinal fusion in March 2019 to separate the disks that were pinching the sciatic nerves. It seems that that problem was resolved, but she still has terrible back pain at times. She continues to seek professional help to find and correct the problem. When Eddison came out of herniated disk surgery 4 ½ years ago he was unable to raise his foot off the bed and sustain it; control the left and right, and up and down movements of his feet; navigate his legs; urinate and defecate; lie on either side and raise his top foot off the other one; or sustain his body while on foot. Standing alone was unimaginable. Praise God for wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, walking canes, catheters, adult diapers, laxatives, Activia, probiotics and natural fibers! Praise Him also for brothers and sisters in Christ who understand and truly love and care for those in need.

  • Asset Management in Rail Public Transport Sector and Industry 4.0 Technologies
    Bruno Teixeira Cavalcante de Magalhães Daniel Machado dos Santos Débora Cristina Faria de Araújo Gustavo Henrique Lucas Jaquie ASSET MANAGEMENT IN RAIL PUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTOR AND INDUSTRY 4.0 TECHNOLOGIES Brasília, Brazil November 2020 Bruno Teixeira Cavalcante de Magalhães Daniel Machado dos Santos Débora Cristina Faria de Araújo Gustavo Henrique Lucas Jaquie A Final Educational Project Submitted to Deutsche Bahn AG in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Rail and Metro Rail Transportation Systems Management Certificate Program This Final Educational Project was prepared and approved under the direction of the DB Rail Academy, Mr. Marcus Braun. Brasilia, Brazil November 2020 ABSTRACT Industry 4.0 is the concept adopted to refer to new technologies that have been deeply impacting the entire industry, in practically all sectors. The development of technologies associated with the internet of things (IoT) and intelligent systems is driving the industry towards digital transformation. In this scenario, many possibilities arise for the rail public transport sector, mainly for Asset Management, considering that Asset Management represents a significant portion of the operator's efforts and costs to keep the commercial operation running. This work presents the traditional asset management concepts currently used in the public transport sector on rails, as well as some opportunities for using Industry 4.0 technologies in this sector. Then, a methodology for implementing these opportunities is proposed, with the agile methodology being suggested as an implementation strategy, considering a cost- benefit analysis, risk analysis, project plan, implementation plan and financial plan. It is expected that the ideas presented in this work can stimulate other sectors of the industry to move towards Industry 4.0, which is an inevitable trend and will certainly determine in the medium and long term who will survive in an increasingly competitive environment.

After an exploratory review of the existing literature and research documents, a structured questionnaire based on the Supply Chain Capability Maturity Model S(CM)2 was applied. The study measured an overall average level, given in S(CM)2, as Managed, meaning that the managerial development standard of the logistics agents was at an intermediate level. The results showed that maturity was related to the size of the LSP and the complexity of the organizational management. These findings can support the development of policies and strategies for the improvement and adoption of practices that best lead to gains in competitiveness for both LSPs and the Supply Chains (SCs) that require their services.

  • An Analysis of the Demographics and Labor Market Integration of Haitian Migrants in the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Area
    Byen venu, Uai!: An Analysis of the Demographics and Labor Market Integration of Haitian Migrants in the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Area Shane Michael Landry1 Prof. Dr. Gisela Patricia Zapata Araújo2 Prof. Dr. Alisson Flávio Barbieri3 Keywords: Brazil, Haiti, international migration, Haitian migration, Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Area, labor market, demographic profile, Brasil, RMBH, Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, migração internacional, migração haitiana, mercado de trabalho, perfil demográfico. 1 Demógrafo, mestre em demografia pelo CEDEPLAR, UFMG e graduado em relações internacionais pelo American University. 2 Professora Adjunta e Pesquisadora do Departamento de Demografia, CEDEPLAR, UFMG. 3 Professor Associado e Pesquisador Departamento de Demografia, CEDEPLAR, UFMG. Abstract In recent years, Latin America has witnessed ever-increasing intraregional migration flows in the context of growing political and economic integration and the tightening of migration policies in the developed world. Despite the rising importance of Haitian migration to Brazil over the past decade, few studies have explored the characteristics of Haitian migration to the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Area (RMBH), the third largest urban agglomeration in Brazil. This study seeks to fill these research gaps by: i) providing a comprehensive demographic profile of the Haitian migrant population in the RMBH, ii) analyzing the evolution of their labor market integration over the past eight years, and iii) investigating the role and characteristics of their migration motives, routes, connections with their place of origin, and/or employment- related connections and support. This analysis was conducted by triangulating data from three sources: the Centro Zanmi, an NGO that assists Haitian migrants in the RMBH; SINCRE, obtained from the Brazilian Federal Police; and the Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), obtained from the Brazilian Labor Ministry.

  • Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Economic Strategy Report Alex Gray, Fellow, Global Urban Development, July 2009
    Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Economic Strategy Report Alex Gray, Fellow, Global Urban Development, July 2009 Overview Located within the Brazilian Highlands of southern Brazil, the State of Minas Gerais has long been known for its mineral wealth – dating back to the discovery of gold in the 1690s. (Bergard, 1999, p. 81) In fact, the name “Minas Gerais” is Portuguese for “general mines.” Even today, long after its gold reserves have been effectively exhausted, mining constitutes Minas Gerais’ largest source of wealth (though agriculture provides the largest source of employment), due to its supply of iron ore. Brazil’s fourth-largest State in terms of area, Minas Gerais is second only to the State of São Paolo in terms of the size of both its population and its economy. The State of Minas Gerais encompasses 226,460 square miles and contains an estimated 19,426,356 people. (Encyclopedia Britannica) (Minesterio do Turismo) Of those 19 million people, approximately 2,375,300 live in the capital City of Belo Horizonte, with 5,391,284 residing in the greater Belo Horizonte metropolitan area. (Encyclopedia Britannica) Brazil’s first planned city, Belo Horizonte was established to replace Ouro Preto, a symbol of colonialism, as Minas Gerias’ capital shortly after the country became a republic in 1889. Originally known as Cidade de Minas, the city’s name was changed in 1901 to Belo Horizonte – Portuguese for “beautiful horizon.” (Encyclopedia Britannica) Governor Alfonso Pena tapped civil engineer Ararão Reis for the construction of the new capital. City streets, laid out as a grid including both perpendicular and diagonal streets named after Brazilian states and indigenous tribes, bears the influence of Washington, D.C.

  • Metropolitan Localized Data in Greater Belo Horizonte, Brazil: a Participatory Guide to Better Governance
    Metropolitan Localized Data in Greater Belo Horizonte, Brazil: A Participatory Guide to Better Governance April 2019 Local Data Action Solutions Initiative 2018-2019 Microgrant Program ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Written by Cid Blanco Jr., architect and urban planner in collaboration with Claudia Pires, architect and urban planner, and Marcelo Amaral, civil engineer. Editing by Sandra Ruckstuhl, Jessica Espey, and Jay Neuner. Design by Micha Dugan, Ryan Swaney, and Jay Neuner. Project Logo Project Team 2 ABOUT The Local Data Action Solutions Initiative (LDA-SI) was established as a joint effort between the Sustainable Development Solutions Network’s Thematic Research Network on Data and Statistics (SDSN TReNDS) and the U.S.A. Sustainable Cities Initiative as a program with one primary objective: to identify and promote replicable methods for sub-national Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) monitoring that facilitate local action in support of the “leave no one behind” principle. A growing number of subnational actors are attempting to implement the SDGs locally and are confronting specific questions related to data collection and monitoring. With this has grown the need for real, practical lessons and guidance that can be applied to different contexts worldwide. For this reason, LDA-SI launched a microgrant initiative to support learning from existing subnational SDG data initiatives, harnessing this tacit local knowledge and informing a learning exchange. In 2018, five grantees were chosen both for their proven ability to support SDG implementation in a specified location and for their model’s relevance and potential benefit for other sub-national SDG initiatives in the world. Each grantee has prepared a guidance brief that describes SDG localization challenges in the place where they are operating and the data solutions they have designed to support efforts toward SDG achievement.

This study aims to characterize the commercialization of pequi fruit in municipalities of the state of Minas Gerais and identify public policies that strengthen its production chain in order to support its use for generating income within rural communities. Information was obtained through searches on official sites, published literature and other documents, and through semi-structured and open interviews held in 39 commercial establishments and in five restaurants. Between 2003 and 2011, the national production and the price of one tonne of pequi has risen from 42% to 209%. Sales of pequi by the Centrais de Abastecimento de Minas Gerais S.A. (CeasaMinas) of Greater Belo Horizonte, Brazil, has risen 113% between 2010 and 2014. The results indicate the feasibility of pequi extractivism for a quilombola community. Keywords: production chain, hotspot, income, quilombo. Felfili et al., 2004). In the state of Minas Gerais (MG), the 1. INTRODUCTION Northern region cities have the highest production in pequi due to, among other factors, the organization of extractivists The current emphasis towards non-timber forest products into associations and cooperatives, which are few or nonexistent (NTFPs) is mainly due to the effort to harmonize economic in other regions (IBGE, 2010; Rezende & Cândido, 2014).

This article seeks to contribute to the development of evaluation and monitoring strategies for target 6.2 at the local level, adapting the official SDG indicator 6.2.1a and the international criteria established by the Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)) at the municipal scale. Using the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region (RMBH) as a case study, a series of methodological procedures is proposed to assess and monitor equitable access to sanitation services. Inequalities in access to services between different population subgroups and between the municipalities that make up the RMBH are explored in different ways, including the evaluation of intersecting forms of inequality, the mapping of a synthetic index of inequality based on multiple criteria and the projection of the time needed to achieve universal access to services according to international criteria.
