1371) Doing Business in Brazil (rather: NOT doing business in such a country)

As condições imperantes no Brasil são, de fato, horríveis, e o ambiente de negócios não é propriamente um ambiente, apenas uma atmosfera mal cheirosa, com milhares de entraves burocraticos, corrupcao, carga tributária irracional e outros problemas.

World Bank – Doing Business 2009

The World Bank’s annual evaluation of “Doing Business” conditions world wide (133 countries) rank Brazil with worse conditions (for doing business) in 2009.
In 2008, Brazil was near the “bottom” of this ranking (127th), but in 2009 was ranked 129th. “What was already really bad, got worse”, affirmed Prof. Carlos Arruda at the Dom Cabral Foundation, who coordinated this survey.
Only Bolivia and Venezuela were ranked worse than Brazil.
Although Brazil has “good” macro economic indicators, it had a very bad classification in other items like the level of the tax burden, waste of government funds, regulatory frameworks, quality of infrastructure, and education.

This report surveys the time it takes to open a new business in these nations – Hong Kong (6 days), China (37 days), Peru (41 days), Uruguay (65 days), Brazil (120 days), and Venezuela (141 days).
