Macquarie in Brazil: strengthening three forces of Brazil’s global influence
Brazil is widely known for its Carnival, but another significant event on the national calendar this year is the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30, which will take place in November 2025 in Belém — the gateway to the Amazon rainforest. This global summit could hardly be happening at a more fitting place or time.
Amid an economic recovery, evolving geopolitical conditions, and Brazil’s consistent role as an independent actor in a multipolar world, the nation’s importance continues to grow. As a top exporter of agricultural and mineral resources and a key player in global energy production, Brazil has become a magnet for international investors and businesses.
With continuing progress in trade, sustainable energy, and infrastructure, Brazil is also emerging as a leader in decarbonisation and economic resilience. These three forces — commerce, sustainability, and innovation — are defining the country’s modern business environment. Over the past 25 years, Macquarie’s involvement in these sectors has supported Brazil’s expanding influence on the world stage.
“South America’s largest and most populous country, Brazil has long blazed a trail for the continent, advancing its infrastructure and forging strategic partnerships to strengthen its role in international commerce.”
