Where Brazil is in its cycles
Where Brazil sits in eight long cycles, each read from published statistics against a method fixed before any reading was computed. A stage describes; it is not a rating, and no stage is better or worse than another.

Passport reach
Where a Brazil passport opens doors
The share of world GDP, outside Brazil itself, in the economies whose published rules let a holder of this passport in, as of October 2026. Palanor records the rules of destinations holding 88% of world GDP, from each government’s own list, and weights them by World Bank GDP for 2025. Rank is among 199 passports.
Work
5.3%rank 93 of 199
the right to work (free movement in full; treaty and working-holiday routes at half); 0 destinations in full, 5 at half.
Recorded changes
- 2026-02-05Mexico · visit: Visa required → E-visa before travel source
- 2025-09-25South Korea · work: no route → Working holiday source
- 2025-07-03Indonesia · visit: Visa on arrival → Visa-free source
- 2025-06-01China · visit: Visa required → Visa-free source
- 2025-01-08United Kingdom · visit: Visa-free → Online travel authorisation source
Reach is shown here and not weighted into Country Strength: it rewards membership of a free-movement area or a treaty more than the strength of an economy. Entry is always at the border officer’s discretion, and conditions (length of stay, fees, age limits) vary. Method, sources and the full ranking: Passports and citizenship.
Palanor calculation from each destination government's published rules; GDP weights from the World Bank (CC BY 4.0), one year for the whole line, so it moves only when a list changes.
GDP by expenditure
What Brazil’s economy runs on
In 2025, household spending was 63.4% of GDP, government consumption 19.1%, investment 17.1% and net exports +0.3% (exports 17.8%, imports 17.5%).
World Bank national accounts. The parts can miss 100 by a few points (the statistical discrepancy).
Same World Bank definition for every country, so the shares compare directly: What each economy runs on.
IMF World Economic Outlook
The IMF’s outlook for Brazil
The latest year before the October 2026 edition (often still an IMF estimate) and the IMF’s own projections. These are the IMF’s published forecasts, shown as published; Palanor does not project them further. Since the previous edition the IMF raised its growth forecast for this year by 0.3 percentage points (Palanor calculation).
