Abstract

the prospects of double-digit growth for the industrial sector prompts the questioning
of the sustainability of such growth in face of many challenges to it, such as low
installed capacity, fluctuations in recent growth, inflation, among others. This paper assesses
the limitations of growth for the Brazilian industry, particularly in light of the Cruzado Plan.
