Join the Trade Development Alliance as we look at the rapidly changing events taking place in Brazil today from a business and trade perspective.

In recent years Brazil has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world, reaching a peak GDP growth rate of 7.5% in 2010, its highest in 25 years. In the midst of this growth Brazil faces challenges and opportunities with a rising middle class, recent protests and growing infrastructure needs. Join the Trade Development Alliance for the kickoff of our International Hot Topic Series as we look at what is taking place in Brazil today.
