Abstract:
The objective of this article is to understand the evolution of the insertion of the Northern Region of Brazil in Brazilian international trade between the period from 2006 to 2015. As methodological procedures were used indicators of commercial transactions of purchase and sale of the region with the rest of the world, Index of Concentration of Exports (ICX) and Imports (ICM); Intersector Trade Index (ICS); and the number of sectors that make up 90% of the total value of exports and imports. The data were collected at the Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services (MIFT). The main results indicate little regional dynamism and external insertion, reinforcing the external vulnerability of the North Region, as well the low diversification of its products, which are concentrated in the mineral extraction sector and in most of the State of Pará.
Key words:
international trade; economic integration; North Region
