São Paulo – Brazilian exports of machinery and equipment grew 33.6% in August compared to the same month last year, despite a slight decline of 0.5% compared to July. According to data released to the press on Wednesday (1) by the Brazilian Association of Machinery and Equipment Industry (ABIMAQ), the sector’s revenue from foreign markets in August reached USD 1.2 billion.
