Brazil is the largest country in South America, both geographically and demographically. With more than 8.5 million square kilometers, Brazil occupies almost 50% of South American territory and has an extensive coast, with more than 9,200 kilometers.
The country is extremely diverse, with different regionalisations within states and its people. Although the primary language spoken is Portuguese, the new generation of Brazilian English speakers is growing by the minute. According to a British Council study, the percentage of English speakers in the Brazilian market between 18-24 years old is double the country’s average.
The main strengths of Brazil are its agriculture, construction, hospitality, and tech sectors. As an emerging market, Brazil has a Human Development Index (HDI) of 0,754 (87th in the world) and a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of USD$1.445 trillion as of 2020. With a large employee population of almost 80 million workers, Brazil is seen worldwide and by foreign companies as a country with great potential to grow and develop.
