Brasília – A survey from the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) shows that the share of imports in domestic consumption was a record at 22% in 2014, and up 0.6 percentage point from 2013.<\/p>\n
According to CNI, the rate is the highest since records started being kept in 1996. The numbers are from the report Coeficientes de Abertura Comercial<\/em> (Commercial Openness Coefficients), released this Thursday (5th) by the CNI and done in partnership with the Foreign Trade Studies Centre Foundation (Funcex).<\/p>\n The report says consumption of imported inputs by industry was also a record at 24%, up 0.8 percentage point from 2013. “The index hike was spearheaded by the processing industry, whose rate of imported inputs reached 24.9% last year. Out of 21 segments surveyed, only wood pulp and paper and oil products and biofuels saw their rates drop in 2014 from 2013,” the CNI reports.<\/p>\n The export coefficient, i.e. the share of production that got exported, was 18.8%, virtually flat from 19% in 2013, the survey shows.<\/p>\n The higher share of imported inputs in industry, coupled with stable exports, drove a 0.8 percentage point decline in net export coefficient, i.e. the difference between export revenues and spending on input imports. The rate was 3.5% in 2014 and 4.3% in 2013.<\/p>\n *Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The rate of foreign goods sold on the Brazilian market was 22% last year.
