Brazil cost

Brazil cost

Brazil cost (Portuguese: Custo brasil) refers to the increased operational costs associated with doing business with Brazil,[1] making Brazilian goods more expensive compared to other countries.[2] There are several factors that contribute to the extra cost, including:

  • the underdevelopment of infrastructure, including a deteriorated network for domestic shipping.[1] In 2007 transport costs consumed 13% of GDP, 5% more than in the United States.[3] The high transport costs are exacerbated by the scattering of industry over Brazil's territory.[4]
  • excessive layers of bureaucracy;[5]
  • corruption;[5]
  • high tax burden;[6]
  • expensive labour costs;[7]
  • economic instability;[5]
  • high interest rates;[8]
  • high crime rate, which adds extra security costs.[2]
