Centro-Sul (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˌsẽtɾuˈsuw], South-Central) is a geographic area that encompasses the Southeastern, Southern and Central-West regions of Brazil (see Brazil Regional Division), excluding the north of Minas Gerais, most of Mato Grosso, and parts of Tocantins.

Demographics

About 135 million Brazilians live in this region. Most industries are concentrated in the area and are responsible for ~75% of the national GDP. In addition, the majority of the population is predominantly of European descent, and more than half of the population self-identifies as White Brazilian.

The region also is characterized by having a high standard of living (HDI of ~0.787, in average), compared to the rest of the country.

The Centro Sul region now has similar development to that of Uruguay and Argentina; the richest South American countries.
