O Financial Times, aproveitando o gancho do negócio Ambev/interbrew, publicou uma reportagem sobre as empresas brasileiras que estão assumindo um papel relevante no resto do mundo desde a abertura da nossa economia nos anos 90.
"Brazil has become a world-class competitor in several sectors - steel, mining, banking, aeronautics, as well as pulp and paper," says Marcelo Kayath, co-head of Latin American equities with investment bank CSFB in Sâo Paulo. "It is inevitable there will be more alliances in the future, though not always involving management control."
Além da Ambev, o jornal cita tb Embraer, Petrobras, Vale e Gerdau e destaca críticas ao CADE...
Cade approved the 1997 merger that gave AmBev a massive market share but last month vetoed Nestle's acquisition of a domestic chocolate company two years after the deal was announced. On Monday, the Swiss food giant said it was studying the sale of some local brand names to competitors in an effort to win approval.
"It appears authorities are protecting Brazilian companies, not consumers," says one analyst with a leading foreign investment firm. "I don't see that benefiting more acquisitions and mergers."
