Note: The great majority of non-government funding comes from business enterprises. Private universities accounted for just 0.02–0.03% of GERD between 2004
and 2012. Figures 8.3 and 8.4 are based on updated GDP data for Brazil available as of September 2015 and may thus not match other indicators indexed on GDP
reported elsewhere in the present report.
