OECD Competition Assessment Reviews: Brazil
This review provides an analysis of regulatory barriers to competition in Brazil, specifically in the ports and civil aviation sectors, and makes recommendations for Brazilian authorities to mitigate harm to competition and foster long-lasting growth. It is based on a competition assessment conducted by the OECD in co-operation with the Brazilian Competition Authority (CADE) identifying rules and regulations that may hinder the competitive and efficient functioning of markets in the two sectors under review. The review also includes estimates of the impact that the implementation of certain specific recommendations could have on the economy.

Civil-aviation sector
This chapter provides an economic, institutional, and legal overview of the civil-aviation sector in Brazil. As flying is the fastest and safest way to travel between Brazilian states, the sector has a fundamental role in Brazilian economic development and national integration. In 2019, before the COVID‑19 pandemic, aviation accounted for 1.4% of the Brazilian GDP and 1.5 million jobs. The main institutions responsible for issuing and implementing regulation, and overviewing the sector are the Ministry of Infrastructure, through the National Civil Aviation Secretariat (Secretaria Nacional de Aviação Civil, SAC), and the National Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil, ANAC). The civil-aviation sector is highly regulated, including several technical requirements that follow international standards developed to ensure aviation safety and security. The OECD has identified 120 pieces of legislation related to the civil-aviation sector dealing with passenger traffic, on which this project focuses.
