Scope
- Brazil performs poorly in Ease of doing business rankings with a rank of 123. Brazil performed below par in terms of judicial processes, delays in getting construction permits and paying taxes.

However, marginal recovery in commodity prices, containment of inflation and better performance of trading partners will help the country to enter into the positive growth territory in 2017.
- In 2016, China's President Xi Jinping signed multi-billion dollar investment deal of US$50 bn. Deals are designed to further bilateral cooperation on trade, investment, agriculture, energy and transport. The deal will also provide an impetus to the infrastructure spending and high speed rail projects.
- Brazil is home to vast amazon rain forest, but continues to suffer from deforestation, high CO2 emissions and habitat loss. Structural features of the economy, such as aging power stations, energy intensive sectors, energy inefficient buildings and a high dependency on road transport are also resulting in high intensity.
