This chapter identifies the main determinants of Brazilian corporate bond financing and discusses what can be done to promote the development of that market. Although the market has rapidly developed since the inception of the Real Plan in July 1994, interest rate spreads and general credit default rates remain high. Increasing domestic credit demand by the federal government may also crowd out other borrowers with a combination of attractive interest rates and favorable prudential treatment of government debt relative to corporate debt, providing little incentive for more credit to the private sector.
