The United States is one of Brazil’s main trading partners. The bilateral relationship is marked by a persistent deficit in goods and services. In the investment sphere, the U.S. is the second-largest destination for profit and dividend remittances from Brazil and remains the leading source of inward foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly in the industrial, financial, IT, and commercial sectors.
On July 30, 2025, the United States imposed an additional 40% tariff on Brazilian exports, on top of the 10% applied in April 2025 — totaling a 50% surcharge. In response, Brazil launched the Sovereign Plan, designed to mitigate the economic impacts of the tariffs and strengthen the country’s resilience through targeted fiscal, industrial, and trade measures.
In this fourth issue, the document analyzes the impacts of the Trade Tariffs adopted by the US on Brazil in July 2025, on Brazil's Exports between August and October 2025. It also includes an analysis of the behavior of expectations for Foreign Direct Investment in Brazil after the announcement of these tariffs.
In the sixth issue, the Brazil Macro Monitor describes the main Mercosur trade agreements, both those already signed (Singapore, EFTA, EU) and under negotiation (Canada, United Arab Emirates), as well as the expansion of tariff lines in the preferential agreement with India. The document presents a mapping of the flows between Brazil and these jurisdictions of trade in goods and services, the main items traded, as well as the flows and stock of foreign direct investment. Based on this information, it indicates the positive potential for Mercosur and Brazil of expanding their trade and investment partnerships.
