Macquarie in Brazil: Strengthening Brazil’s Global Influence
Brazil is widely known for its Carnival, but in November 2025, the country will host another significant event: the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30, in Belém, the gateway to the Amazon rainforest. This yearly summit on climate change comes at a critical moment for Brazil and the world.
Following recent economic recovery, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and Brazil’s established position as an autonomous player in a multipolar world, the country is gaining increasing importance in global affairs. Its role as a top exporter of agricultural and mineral commodities, along with its expanding energy production, makes Brazil a key focus for international business and investment.
Advances in international trade, sustainable energy, and infrastructure development are further establishing Brazil as a leader in both decarbonisation and economic resilience.
“Brazil’s position as a leading exporter of agricultural and mineral resources and its growing significance in energy production ensures it’s increasingly a focal point for international business and investment.”
Over the past 25 years, Macquarie’s expertise in these sectors has supported Brazil’s expanding global influence by helping to develop its business landscape.
As South America’s largest and most populous nation, Brazil continues to lead the continent by enhancing its infrastructure and building strategic partnerships, strengthening its role in international trade and commerce.
