POLÍTICAS DE CONCENTRAÇÃO OU DESCONCENTRAÇÃO INDUSTRIAL NO TERRITÓRIO CEARENSE

Abstract

The discussion about industry-attracting policies by means of financial incentives has become present in all states in northeast. In the state of Ceara this practice has become frequent both regarding the attraction of industries from other states and the distribution process of such industries in the state of Ceara’s geographical space. The policies implemented through the Ceara’s Industrial Development Fund – FDI – have been trying to decentralize the industry from the districts of the Fortaleza Metropolitan Region (RMF) to the interior of the state, however, this has not happened, since that with FDI-I 71.1% of the investments were concentrated in RMF and only 28.9% in the Interior. In FDI – II there was a slight increase of the concentration of the investments in RMF with 72.4% against 27.6% in the interior. With FDI-III the concentration of the investments increases to 76.6% in RMF against 23.4% in the interior of the state. It’s worth to mention that in this period there was an increase in the number of companies across the state, however the policies implemented by the FDIs in search of the decentralization of the investment from the RMF to the interior of the state turned out to concentrate even more.
