Jorge Sukarie presented a study on the Brazilian software market
Jorge Sukarie, president of ABES, met this Wednesday (19) with deputies from the Parliamentary Front for Science, Technology, Research and Innovation at a breakfast to discuss the software market and political trends in the Information. On the occasion, the director presented the results of the study Brazilian Software and Services Market, carried out by the entity in partnership with the consultancy IDC.
According to Sukarie, the objective of the meeting was to position the deputies on the current figures and the importance of the IT sector for the Brazilian economy. According to the study, Brazil is positioned in 7th place in the world ranking, with an investment of US$ 60 billion in 2014. If only the Software and IT Services sector is considered, without exports, the amount totaled US$ 25.2 billion in the last year.
The impacts of the change in the payroll exemption, provided for by PL 57/15, which is currently in the Senate for a vote, was also the subject of the meeting. The entity defends a consensus alternative that does not burden companies so much, does not further affect the level of employment and meets the needs of fiscal adjustment.
