UKTI: never a better time for business in Brazil
Brazil is a massive opportunity for UK businesses. With its strong growth rate, population of 200 million and rich natural resources, Brazil is on track to becoming the 5th largest economy in the world over the next decade. An increasing number of Brazilian companies are looking for opportunities overseas and it is opening its financial and professional service markets to enable new business to succeed.
There has never been a better time to invest in Brazil, and we have an unrivalled offer: The UK is the world’s leading financial centre and one of the world’s leading exporters of financial services, 10 times the equivalent of the United States. London has more cross-border lending than any other major centre and an unmatched concentration of legal services.
One key area of growth in this market is a huge amount of new infrastructure and energy projects with the potential to bring significant opportunities for UK companies right down the supply chain. UK expertise in finance and professional services can offer emerging economies a wealth of knowledge, advice and practical solutions.
The Lord Mayor of London has put Brazil on his visits agenda every year to help promote our businesses there and we in Government are focusing more and more on helping our businesses – large and small – find opportunities in this dynamic market.
To hear more about Brazil, the opportunities for the financial and professional services sectors, and what UKTI can do to help your business, please join us in Leeds on 22 November or London on 24 November.
