Investing in Brazil in Times of Coronavirus: Challenges and Opportunities in Cross Border M&A and Private Equity

Some key takeaways from the discussion include:

Brazil resumes capital markets and M&A activity and continues to attract foreign investments
The basic interest rate, at record low level of 2% per annum, is attracting investment in the country’s economy
Financial sponsors (private equity and family offices) are leveraging opportunities in several sectors, funding new operations and consolidations
Investments in agribusiness, IT, healthcare, education and infrastructure should likely boost M&A activity in Q3/Q4 2020 and 2021
