This Thursday (30) in your ANBA Bulletin: The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce opened an office in Cairo on Wednesday (29) in the presence of Brazil’s vice president Hamilton Mourão and Egypt’s Trade and Industry minister Nevin Gamea. The office will be based in the headquarters of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce. Brazil’s new business environment law brings new implications for foreign trade. One of the measures is fully eliminating Siscoserv, a services trade database that used to create unnecessary costs for the private sector and required too many documents for licensing imports. Brazil’s vice president Hamilton Mourão visited Egypt, where he was welcomed by local officials including president Abdul Fattah Al-Sisi. In a meeting, they showed interest in a rapprochement between Brazil and Egypt and discussed regional matters. And Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has been all about the Expo 2020 it will host starting Friday (1). Our reporter Bruna Garcia is in the Arab country and told us how the exhibition has been the center of life in Dubai. |

In August 26, Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro sanctioned the Provisional Measure 1.040 that resulted in the Law nº 14.195/2021, designed to improve the country’s business environment.

In the medium term, and coupled with other initiatives, the goal is putting Brazil among the 50 best countries to do business. The most recent data, from 2019, had Brazil ranking at 124 among 191 nations led by New Zealand.
