Minsk is the economic capital of Belarus. It has developed industrial and services sectors.
Sao Paulo's economy has traditionally been industrial, but it has become increasingly based on the tertiary sector, focusing on services and businesses for the country and is the Brazilian HQ for a large number of foreign corporations.
