Key details
On December 3, 2025, Brazil witnessed the launch of the Frente Parlamentar pela Melhoria do Ambiente de Negócios (FPN), a bipartisan parliamentary front aimed at modernizing the country's economic regulations and reducing bureaucracy to boost competitiveness and investment. Backed by the Confederação Nacional do Comércio de Bens, Serviços e Turismo (CNC), the initiative is seen as a crucial step toward strengthening dialogue between the productive sector and lawmakers.
The FPN, described as technical and national in character, unites deputies and senators committed to structural reforms focused on creating a more predictable and investment-friendly business environment. Key objectives include reducing barriers to entrepreneurship and job creation, modernizing regulatory frameworks, fostering bipartisan debate, and enhancing collaboration between public and private sectors for sustainable growth.
Leadership of the FPN rests with deputy Mendonça Filho (União–PE), a former Minister of Education known for his technical approach, while senator Efraim Filho (União–PB), who has a record of pushing economic agendas and advocating for free enterprise, serves as vice-president. José Roberto Tadros, president of the CNC-Sesc-Senac system, emphasized that the FPN represents an opportunity to reinforce the principles of democracy, legal security, and free enterprise, creating a more stable environment for investors.
The launch of the front aligns with recent efforts from organizations like the Instituto Unidos Brasil (IUB), which have been promoting strategies to defend free enterprise and lower operational costs in Brazil. Overall, the FPN is positioned as a key driver to modernize Brazil's economy and reduce bureaucratic impediments, fostering a business climate conducive to growth and investment.
