A Dinâmica recente do investimento direto estrangeiro (IDE) no Brasil e impactos sobre a conta de transações correntes

Abstract

The article analyzes the recent dynamics of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Brazil in the context of global economic crisis. In order to show that this form of financing contributes increasingly to the country’s external financial fragility, as a result of production strategies and modalities of implementation of foreign companies, increasingly subordinated to the financial dimension of globalization. This fact reveals that the analysis external financing should not be restricted to mere differentiation of short-term capital flows and Foreign Direct Investment.
