SAO PAULO, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Ricardo Lei Consultoria – RLC, a company that has been working in Mergers and Acquisitions for thirty years, believes that in the current international economic situation, Brazil is the second market of preference in the world for Strategic Companies or Global Private Equity Funds that are seeking companies for new acquisitions in various different areas such as: Food and Beverages, Wholesale, Beauty, Capital Goods, Education, Construction, Logistics and Transportation, Chemistry, Miscellaneous Services, Information Technology, Retail and Apparel.

According to Brazilian government forecasts, Brazil should grow between 4% to 5% in 2012. The country’s strong points for “confronting” 2012 are represented by its international reserves, measures to stimulate growth through monetary policy, tax reduction and various measures for internal administrative improvements, in addition to the positive effect of the increase in the minimum wage.

Recently, Brazil officially became the sixth largest economy in the world, as confirmed by the Center for Economic and Business Research (CEBR – Centro de Pesquisa Economica e Empresarial), with total GDP of R$ 4.143 trillion (US$ 2.469 trillion) in 2011.

It is noteworthy that Brazil today is experiencing a great moment in contrast to what is going on in the global economy, particularly the countries of the EURO zone. Moreover, with its large population that sustains intense domestic consumption, vast natural resources and increasingly strong industry, it is most certainly a country that is destined to keep growing.

Today, Ricardo Lei Consultoria – RLC is in a position to present a variety of opportunities for acquisitions of companies and investments in Brazil, considering that in 2011 these companies had EBITDA assessed at between US$ 3 to 30 million, and in some cases they are market leaders, while there are also some opportunities that have been identified whose EBITDA is in an even higher bracket.
