Brazilian Industry Has
Worst Performance Among Developing Countries

The performance of Brazil’s industry in 2012 was the
worst among 25 developing countries and important economies of Latin America.
The 2.6% decline in Brazil’s industrial production was the greatest by far in
the group. Egypt in second place had a 1.9% decline.

Brazilian industry as a component of the G.D. P.
(Gross Domestic Product) – which, aside from manufactured products, includes
sectors such as civil construction and electric energy – also had the biggest
decline in the developing world – a slump of 0.8%.

The data are from British consultants EIU (Economist
Intelligence Unit) and they show that the sector’s crisis is persistent. In
2011, the results of Brazilian industry were among the three worst in the group
analyzed.

Specialists say the figures confirm that domestic
problems have had a greater influence on industry than the foreign crisis.
“These data are very worrisome. The foreign crisis affected everyone, but
we were worse than all others,” says Flávio Castelo Branco, economic
policy manager of CNI (National Industry Confederation).
