Abstract: This report addresses the business environment in Brazil as one of the determinants responsible for the weak evolution of productivity in recent decades. After addressing this productivity performance, we define what constitutes the business environment, using as a reference the three ways in which the World Bank has been addressing the subject. Next, we highlight how the business environment affects productivity in a country. Finally, we review some recent reforms in in the country's business environment and available evidence on their likely effects on productivity.
