RESUMO

The purpose of this work is to gather and comment on the main ideas and figures present in the debate about the impacts of the recent inflows of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Brazilian production structure and on the prospects of its foreign trade in the short and medium run, identifying in the end certain arguments and aspects of this discussion that deserve a special attention in order to have a better comprehension of the risk of future disequilibrium in our balance of payments under the current economic model. Five aspects of the debate are considered: the exchange rate, the strategy of foreign companies, the production capacity, the productivity and the investments in infra-structure. The analysis of these points and of the figures related to them intends to show that the recent FDI cycle has introduced some potential imbalance in Brazilian external accounts. Besides this, it emphasizes the importance of following the strategy of the Brazilian subsidiaries of transnational corporations with the aim of having a more clear perspective of the possibilities of relevant quantitative and qualitative improvements in our foreign trade
