The rapid trade and financial liberalization in the 90s, combined there is an overvalued exchange rate policy in the 2000s, as a result of Dutch disease phenomenon in Brazil, may be adversely affecting the industry. Even if Lula and Dilma governments have established industrial policies to promote the sector and even if it was valid, but it was not enough in the face of an unfavorable macroeconomic environment, mainly due to the appreciated exchange rate and high interest rates that inhibit the necessary investments to the growth of industry. As a result, the country now focus its production and exports in natural resources and to participate in the global value chain as one of the leading countries in providing raw materials. As a result, the Brazilian industry lost share in Brazilian exports and the industrial sector showed low dynamism both external and internal, since there was a growing import of industrial products.
