Abstract
This investment policy and regulatory
review (IPRR) presents information on the legal and
regulatory frameworks governing foreign direct investment
(FDI) in Brazil. Since legal and regulatory frameworks are
constantly evolving, a cut-off date was set for the
research. This country review, therefore, covers information
available as of December 31, 2021, unless otherwise
indicated in the review. IPRRs are available for the
following middle-income countries (MICs): Brazil, China,
India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Thailand,
Turkey, and Vietnam. This IPRR is organized as follows:
section 1 gives an introduction. Section 2 provides an overview
of the country’s investment policy framework, including the
legal instruments regulating foreign investment, key
institutions involved in investment promotion, as well as
the country’s foreign investment promotion strategy; it also
delineates the country’s international investment legal
framework, including the country’s commitments under the
World Trade Organization (WTO) and select international
investment agreements (IIAs); sections 3 to 6 cover the
country’s policies and domestic legal framework concerning
different dimensions of the lifecycle of an investment:
entry and establishment (section 3), protection (4),
incentives (5) and linkages (6); sections 7 and 8 explore
emerging investment policy and regulatory areas. Section 7
considers outward FDI and section 8 responsible investment.
Section 9 focuses on city-specific investment policy and
regulatory measures in the largest commercial center; and
section 10 covers FDI in the digital economy.
