Rio De Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is a major city in Brazil and the capital of Rio de Janeiro state. It is the country's second-largest city by population, with more than six-million residents in the municipality and over 13-million in the metropolitan area. The city serves as a significant economic and cultural hub, with a diverse economy encompassing finance, oil and gas, mining, shipping and tourism. Rio de Janeiro is home to the headquarters and regional offices of numerous Brazilian and multinational corporations, including major players in the extractive industries and financial services sectors. The city's port facilities handle substantial volumes of mineral exports, particularly iron-ore, making it strategically important to Brazil's commodity trade. Rio de Janeiro hosts the Brazilian stock exchange, B3, and is a centre for investment banking and capital markets activity in Latin America. The metropolitan area contains industrial zones, oil refineries and logistics infrastructure supporting the broader South-East region's manufacturing and export economy. Founded in 1565, Rio de Janeiro served as Brazil's capital from 1763 until 1960, when the seat of government moved to Brasília, though it remains a vital political and economic centre.
