Press Release: Obelisk is pleased to announce the publication of their Brazil Investment Guide. This brand new guide offers 24 full-colour pages of information about the many investment opportunities available in Brazil. The guide is downloadable free in pdf format from the Obelisk website. 

Although the new Brazil Investment Guide forms part of the Obelisk tradition of providing cutting-edge investment information, it represents a departure from our property investment guides. While the new guide offers extensive insight into the booming property market in Brazil, it also explores the many other options awaiting the investor in Latin America’s largest country. At Obelisk, we felt that there were just too many opportunities available in Brazil to restrict a guide to property. 

This new guide therefore takes on a wider perspective and examines the many focal points for foreign investment in Brazil. These include the construction industry, commodities, agriculture, social housing and stocks and shares. Readers of the guide might be surprised to discover that 19% of the world’s agricultural land is in Brazil; that annual sales in construction materials are predicted to rise by almost 70% by 2016; and that since 2005, Brazil has the world’s second highest growth rate in clean energy investment. Not to mention that the government is building 3 million low-cost homes by the end of 2014 within the Minha Casa Minha Vida programme. 

The Obelisk Brazil Investment Guide takes a look at the many investment opportunities in Brazil against a background of emerging markets worldwide. Brazil, along with China, India, Indonesia and Russia, is at the forefront of emerging market economies, widely expected to lead the global economy in the very near future. The guide also outlines the Brazilian economic and political scenes as well as Brazil’s exciting future. This future is about to unfold to the tune of vast oil exploitation, the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. In addition, there are facts and figures about the economy, foreign investment and Brazil’s currency, the real. 

Obelisk has been present in Brazil for a number of years and we are well aware of the huge investment potential to be found there. We are also aware of the difficulties. Although it’s widely considered the current ‘land of opportunity’, Brazil is not an easy country to do business in. And this new guide to Brazil sounds a note of caution for investors. The twin barriers of language and business culture mean that many doors are closed to newcomers in Brazil who do not have bona fide local associates. ‘Who you know’ is fundamental to Brazilian business practice and the basis to successful investment. Being prepared to carry out due diligence is another pillar of profitable investment. 

As successful investors in Brazil, Obelisk believes that the new guide offers an essential snapshot of opportunities for investment in Brazil. The guide provides the first step to investment – that all-important background knowledge.
