Base Industrial de Defesa: contribuições da política de conteúdo local do BNDES para o seu desenvolvimento

Abstract

Aiming to become one of the Brazilian Industrial Defense Base (IDB) stimulus instruments, this paper discusses the compatibility of BNDES Local Content Requirements (LCR) with the purposes of the National Defense Policy. The study method was supported by a tripod composed by literature review, documentary research and case reports obtained from the author's experience in the subject. The observations made were limited to the policy under BNDES responsibility and comprised a review of the concepts related to the nationalization of industrial goods, the history of BNDES performance and future perspectives. The IDB was also characterized to reveal its importance and development opportunities through the use of the BNDES LCR for defense goods. This study shows that it is possible to stimulate the nationalization of defense products based on the concepts that guide the BNDES LCR and it also indicates some of the possible ways to use it.
