<strong>Rezende</strong> <strong>Junior</strong>, D.A. The impacts of the exchange rate fluctuations on <strong>com</strong>petitive<<strong>br</strong> />

exportation of Brazilian steel sector, 2003. 176 pages. Dissertation (Master in Business<<strong>br</strong> />

The purpose of this study is to verify if exchange rate fluctuations interfere with<<strong>br</strong> />

<strong>com</strong>petitive exportation of Brazilian steel sector. For this purpose it was used a hyphotesis<<strong>br</strong> />

guideline. By hyphotesis adopted, price advantages originated from exchange fluctuations<<strong>br</strong> />

lose importance because of the oligopoly control over world steel <strong>com</strong>panies, international<<strong>br</strong> />

depression of steel prices, imposition of barriers and other restrictions imposed by central<<strong>br</strong> />

countries government , specially U.S. For the purpose of this research it was done a<<strong>br</strong> />

historical cut of five years, delimiting research period from 1997 to 2001. The objective of<<strong>br</strong> />

this cut was the isolation of facts that can determine the <strong>com</strong>petitiveness such as exchange<<strong>br</strong> />

fluctuations, market structure, trade barriers, and other factors for example privatization<<strong>br</strong> />

that can interfere with the results. The content of this analysis was <strong>com</strong>posed of affiliated<<strong>br</strong> />

<strong>com</strong>panies of Brazilian Steel Institute in 2002. The subject of this study was the exportation<<strong>br</strong> />

supported by Brazilian steel <strong>com</strong>panies within research period. Methodologically<<strong>br</strong> />

speaking, observation, <strong>com</strong>parative and statistics methods were used according to ex post<<strong>br</strong> />

fact research method and documented bibliography. In the preview of this literature were<<strong>br</strong> />

focused international trade, International Monetary System, Brazilian exchange rate<<strong>br</strong> />

environment after Real, <strong>com</strong>petitiveness and market structure. The discussion was<<strong>br</strong> />

addressed to the situation of world steel sector and specific situations of the United States<<strong>br</strong> />

and Brazil. The study was concluded with final considerations. It was concluded that<<strong>br</strong> />

hypotheses was veridical. The data showed that exchange fluctuation (exchange<<strong>br</strong> />

devaluation) does not increase <strong>com</strong>petitive exportation of the sector because there was no<<strong>br</strong> />

relevant increase in several steel products exportation indicating that oligopoly structure of<<strong>br</strong> />

the sector and market protection barriers eliminate exchange advantages. Nevertheless, the<<strong>br</strong> />

conclusion was that exchange fluctuation interferes with financial performance of Brazilian<<strong>br</strong> />

steel <strong>com</strong>panies causing high debts in dollars.<<strong>br</strong> />
