Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 19, 2025, a shooting incident occurred in the Catumbi area of central Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but the scale of casualties has not been confirmed. Currently classified as a 'low' grade security incident, it is assessed as a localized event within Brazil's major economic center.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Rio de Janeiro port accessibility: Continued security instability in the city center could indirectly affect overland transport routes to the Port of Rio de Janeiro, a major South American port
• Brazil domestic logistics: Rio de Janeiro is a major logistics hub in southeastern Brazil, with potential delay factors in inland-to-port transport networks for key exports such as iron ore, soybeans, and sugar
• Local manufacturing operations: Possibility of temporary operational disruptions for Rio de Janeiro-based manufacturers in employee commuting and raw material procurement processes
• Tourism and service industry linkage: If security concerns spread, local service industry contraction could have indirect economic activity slowdown effects

3) Watch points

• Incident expansion: Whether security instability spreads to other areas of Rio de Janeiro within the next 48-72 hours and government response measures
• Transport and logistics normalization: Timeline for resumption of normal operations on major arterial roads and port access routes, and current status of logistics company transport schedule adjustments
