O DINAMISMO ECONÔMICO E PRODUTIVO DO ESTADO DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL PÓS-2003: AS TRANSFORMAÇÕES PRODUTIVAS DAS MESORREGIÕES

Abstract

Since 2003, the State of Mato Grosso do Sul has presented an average economic growth of 9.5% per year. Gross Domestic Product, in 2003, totaled R $ 21.8 billion, and in 2017, it jumped to R $ 96.3 billion. The export sector, despite periods of economic fluctuations, showed significant growth in the period analyzed. In 2003, the volume of export earnings totaled R $ 497.9 million and in 2019 reached R $ 5.2 billion. From all this, the central question arises: what are the endogenous and exogenous geoeconomic factors that contributed to the occurrence of these transformations? In this sense, the article aims to demonstrate the recent changes in the productive dynamics in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul after 2003 and its propelling geoeconomic combinations. Methodologically, we started with a bibliographic review accompanied by data collections in the official bodies and aiming to identify changes in the productive dynamics in the state. The transformations and the regional reorganization of the productive matrix took place in a concentrated manner in a reduced number of municipalities in the form of “development islands” in the mesoregions.
