image of Digital Trade Review of Brazil

This Digital Trade Review of Brazil provides an overview of Brazil’s participation in digital trade and the related regulatory environment. It provides insights into how Brazil might ensure that the new challenges raised by the digital transformation for trade can be managed and the benefits shared more inclusively. While Brazil has embraced the digital transformation and has strong potential to benefit from digital trade, it will need to continue the ongoing process of regulatory reform. This includes reducing tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade on ICT goods; reducing regulatory barriers to ICT services; increasing engagement in international discussions on digital trade; and continuing efforts to bridge digital divides.

Enabling Brazilian firms to export in the digital era

This chapter uses detailed firm-level data to investigate different aspects of the digital transformation for Brazilian firms. The analysis shows that imported digital inputs contribute to the export competitiveness of Brazilian goods exporters. These are especially important for micro-sized firms. It also highlights that the digital services trade restrictions faced by Brazilian exporters significantly affect their capacity of export digitally deliverable and non-digitally deliverable services, especially in the case of smaller exporters.
