Brazilian industrial sector economic and labor advocacy
Overview
The National Confederation of Industry (CNI) and various state industrial federations have initiated efforts to bolster Brazilian industrial competitiveness. In Brasília, leadership established an economic agenda for 2027 centered on a campaign to combat ‘Custo Brasil’ (the Brazil Cost), targeting issues such as bureaucracy, inflation, and the tax burden. This strategy includes the 2027 launch of the Integrated Institute for Industrial Innovation to support technological advancement and national industrial sovereignty.
In parallel, the CNI has taken a stance on labor legislation, opposing Senate proposals to reduce working hours during the current electoral period. The organization argues that the lack of political neutrality during elections prevents balanced debate and maintains that adjustments to work schedules should be handled through collective bargaining to ensure the flexibility required for diverse industrial production processes.
