„Risks of corruption:

• Companies operating in Brazil have to deal with a wide range of regulatory agencies due to the federal structure of the political system, which may increase the likelihood of demands for bribes by public officials.
• Public procurement corruption is generally an area of dispute. While – for instance – the World Bank & IFC’s Enterprise Surveys 2009 find that only very few companies expect to bribe to secure government contracts, multiple corruption scandals have emerged over the years, involving politicians and bureaucrats taking kickbacks from companies in exchange for awarding public contracts.“
