Regional competitiveness, given by the regions' ability to generate wealth and revert it to improve the quality of life for its inhabitants, is widely discussed by academics and policy makers. Did the article seek to deepen how to measure and classify regional competitiveness in Brazilian municipalities? An adaptation of the Municipal Regional Competitiveness Index (ICRM) proposed by Dresch (2021), called ICRM-A, was used, restricting itself to 8 indicators for the year 2010, which was applied in 5,565 Brazilian municipalities. The results point to a significant interregional heterogeneity in relation to competitiveness, with the south and southeast regions having most of the municipalities classified with ICRM Alto and Very High, 76% and 91% respectively, while in the north and northeast regions are concentrated 92.99% of the total municipalities with Low ICRM-A.
