Editor's Notes

  1. The country of Brazil occupies roughly half of South America, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Brazil is bordered by the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela.
  2. The Federal Government of Brazil is the national government of the Federative Republic of Brazil, a republic in South America divided in 26 states and a federal district. The Brazilian federal government is divided in three branches: the executive, which is headed by the President Jair Bolsonaro and the cabinet; the legislative, whose powers are vested by the Constitution in the National Congress; and the judiciary, whose powers are vested in the Supreme Federal Court and lower federal courts. The seat of the federal government is located in Brasília.
  3. The Brazilian real is the official currency of Brazil. It is subdivided into 100 centavos. The Central Bank of Brazil is the central bank and the issuing authority. The real replaced the cruzeiro real in 1994.
  4. As of late 2010, Brazil's economy is the largest in Latin America and the second largest in the Americas. From 2000 to 2012, Brazil was one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world, with an average annual GDP growth rate of over 5%. Its GDP surpassed that of the United Kingdom in 2012, temporarily making Brazil the world's sixth-largest economy. However, Brazil's economic growth decelerated in 2013 and the country entered a recession in 2014. The economy started to recover in 2017, with a 1% growth in the first quarter followed by a 0.3% growth in second quarter compared to the same period of the previous year, and officially exited the recession. Brazil has remained stuck, and also faces high unemployment. 
  5. As a member of economic organizations such as the G20 as well as the BRIC countries, Brazil has certainly made its mark as one of the strongest economies in the world. Despite experiencing economic fluctuations often, the general direction of the Brazilian economy is mainly positive. With recent improvements within the government, bank and education systems, Brazil has become a slightly more significant option for international investments. 
  6. Economic inequality in Brazil has reached extreme levels, despite being one of largest economies in the world. The last decades have seen incredible progress across Brazil. The country has been able to reduce inequality, taking millions of people out of poverty and thereby raising the base of the social pyramid. But despite this evolution, the pace has been very slow and the Latin American giant is still listed as one of the most unequal countries on the planet.
  7. Primeiro Comando da Capital, PCC; "First Command of the Capital is, the largest Brazilian criminal organization, with a membership of almost 20,000 members, 6,000 of whom are in prison. The criminal organization is based largely in the state of São Paulo and is active in at least 22 of the country's 27 states, as well as in Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Paraguay, Bolivia and United States Since its inception, PCC has been responsible for several criminal activities such as prison breaks, prison riots, international drug trafficking, highway robbery, and murders.
  8. The Brazilian labor market was already bad in the first half of the current decade, it got worst with the crisis of 2014 and 2016 and collapsed with the covid-19 pandemic. While the total population and the working age population grows, the employed population has decreased. The waste of the work force is worrying for the future of the country. Unemployment and the underutilization of the workforce in this historic moment is a real catastrophe.
  9. Brazilian inflation in June hit its highest in nearly five years, figures showed on Thursday, with the annual rate of 8.4% more than double the central bank's year-end goal and likely to bolster the case for another aggressive hike in borrowing costs next month. The central bank's year-end inflation goal is 3.75%, with a 1.5 percentage point margin of error on either side. These latest figures show inflation significantly higher than even the 5.25% upper limit of that range.
  10. The Brazilian transportation sector can be segmented into cargo rail, passenger rail, logistics infrastructure, roads, ports, public transportation, urban mobility and smart transportation systems. According to the World Bank’s 2018-2019 Logistics Performance Index, Brazil ranks 56th out of 160 countries in the quality of its infrastructure.  Trucks are the primary method of cargo transport, which makes logistics more expensive and contributes to the “Brazil's Cost”  concept that higher operational expenses are the cost of  doing business in Brazil. 
  11. Brazil has the largest capacity for water storage in the world, being highly dependent on hydroelectricity generation capacity, which meets over 70% of its electricity demand. The national grid runs at 60 Hz and is powered 80% from renewable sources. This dependence on hydropower makes Brazil vulnerable to power supply shortages in drought years, as was demonstrated by the 2001-2002 energy crisis. The National Interconnected System (SIN) comprises the electricity companies in the South, South-East, Center-West, North-East and part of the North region. Only 3.4% of the country's electricity production is located outside the SIN, in small isolated systems located mainly in the Amazonian region.
  12. The population of Brazil is very diverse, comprising many races and ethnic groups. In general, Brazilians trace their origins from three sources: Europeans, Amerindians and Africans. Historically, Brazil has experienced large degrees of ethnic and racial admixture, assimilation of cultures and syncretism.
  13. You should plan to spend around ($64) per day on your vacation in Brazil, which is the average daily price based on the expenses of other visitors. Past travelers have spent, on average, ($15) on meals for one day and ($9.38) on local transportation. Also, the average hotel price in Brazil for a couple is ($63). So, a trip to Brazil for two people for one week costs on average R$4,838 ($899).
  14. One of the first steps you must take when you want to film an audiovisual project in Brazil is to register your project with ANCINE.  ANCINE (an acronym that stands for “National Film Agency” in Portuguese) is the Brazilian government’s regulatory agency that oversees policy in the audiovisual sector of the local economy. If your production is not journalistic  or photographic only, then it must be registered with ANCINE. Brazilian law states that foreign producers cannot simply register their Brazil project with ANCINE on their own. They must first partner with a Brazilian production company registered with ANCINE, such as Brazil Production Services, who will then register the project on their behalf.
