Indicate the investments made in the production line of the domestic like product during the injury analysis period, setting forth the primary reasons for such investments (e.g.: environmental requirements, safety standards, technological updates, increased demand) throughout the period in question and the manner in which these were financed (company resources, bank loans, debentures, etc.).
