Brazil's Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said the government plans to establish a regulatory framework for critical minerals without using tax incentives to attract investment. Although a small producer, Brazil holds vast reserves of critical minerals that are key for high-tech industries, including niobium, rare earths, lithium, and graphite. The plan is designed to ensure Brazil captures more value from its strategic resources amid rising global demand.
