Plano real de 1994 a 2000 e a desindustrialização no brasil: desafios e caminhos para a reindustrialização

Abstract

This study examines the influence of the Real Plan on the process of deindustrialization in Brazil from 1994 to 2000, focusing on its structural consequences for the national economy. Using a methodology based on a literature review and quantitative data analysis from sources such as IBGE, the Central Bank of Brazil, and the Secretariat of Foreign Trade, the research evaluates the effects of exchange rate appreciation, high interest rates, and trade liberalization on the competitiveness of Brazilian industry. The findings indicate that while the Real Plan succeeded in stabilizing the economy, it exacerbated structural weaknesses in the industrial sector. The study underscores the importance of implementing robust industrial policies to support a sustainable and competitive reindustrialization process.
