The Cndl system, which is part of the National Confederation of Shopkeepers (Cndl), the federations of the shopkeepers ' chambers (Fcdls), the shopkeepers ' chambers (CdLS), CDL Jovem and SPC Brazil, comes through this greeting the Your Honor, Mr. Jair Bolsonaro faced with the result achieved in the second round of the elections this Sunday (28).

Created more than 60 years ago, the CNDL system is the main representative network of retail in the country and intends to continue collaborating actively in the construction of a development agenda and resumption of economic growth of the country.

Our mission is to defend and strengthen the free enterprise, with the voice of 500,000 companies that together represent more than 5% of the Brazilian GDP, generate 4.6 million jobs and earn R $340 billion per year. We know closely the main challenges faced by Micro and small companies in Brazil, and we advocate indispensable themes for the development of the sector of commerce and services.

It is urgently necessary to reduce bureaucracy and simplify processes involving business openness, operation and innovation. Moreover, it is essential to advance in the development of policies related to public security, infrastructure and access to credit, favoring entrepreneurs and, consequently, the entire Brazilian society.

Every initiative that, in respect of the current legislation, contributes to the improvement of the business environment is a priority flag for the CNDL system. We reiterate our intention to work in partnership with the new rulers and put ourselves at the disposal to participate in the actions in defense of the sector that moves Brazil.
