Brazil Imports 60% of the Data It Consumes and Turns to ReData to Change This Scenario

Special Advisor to the Ministry of Finance Igor Marchesini stated that Brazil currently relies on imported data to meet its digital consumption, which justifies the implementation of an incentive policy such as ReData. “The economically rational decision for companies is ultimately to import data services from Virginia, in the United States. Today, 60% of the data consumed in Brazil comes from abroad,” he said at a Brasscom event held at Fiesp in São Paulo.
