Attraction of Brazil

Brazil is once again the most attractive investment target for international commercial enterprises. This is mainly down to the developing middle-class economy, high rates of consumption, a large urban population and low political or financial risks, according to the Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) 2012 from business consultancy A.T. Kearney. For the eleventh time in succession the survey investigates the attractiveness of 30 growth markets for commercial enterprises. By comparison with last year Chile and China move up in the rankings to occupy second and third place respectively. Uruguay and India each move down one position to four and five.
