Abstract

With its free market and export-oriented economy, the Federal Republic of brazil is currently the leading economic power in Latin America as well as a strong regional leader. The country is nowadays attracting many foreign direct investment (fdi) inflows thanks to efficient macroeconomic reforms notably. But it is to say that the country faced many economic issues in the past to finally be considered by foreign investors as one of the best location in Latin America to develop activities. After providing an economic and social profile of brazil, we will determine what are the factors threatening and sustaining this emerging market, and finally we will provide a deep analysis of F.D.I. inflows in brazil (nature and importance of F.D.I., are the national institutions supportive of foreign investors? and so on). According to the C.I.A. website (Central Intelligence Agency, The World Factbook: brazil, 2007), the Brazilian G.D.P. was evaluated to U.S. $1.655 trillion (2006 est.), with a real growth rate of +3.7%, for the same year.
