Description
View of downtown Sao Paulo from the Santana district, with several factories in the foreground. Sao Paulo is the industrial capital of Brazil and is responsible for nearly 40% of the industrial output (over 50% on a state level). Brazilian industry has boomed since World War II, especially during the late 1960s and through the middle 1970s. The oil shocks and the recession of the 1980s have slowed down the economy, though the nation's export production continues to flourish.Vista do centro de São Paulo do bairro de Santana com diversas fábricas no primeiro plano. São Paulo é a capital industrial do Brasil e é responsável por quase 40% da produção industrial (mais que 50% a nível de estado). A indústria brasileira tem crescido desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial, especialmente durante o final da década de 1960 e até a metade dos anos 70. Os choques do petróleo e a recessão dos anos de 1980 têm desacelerado a economia, porém a produção nacional de exportação continua a florescer.
