In Brazil, this phrase is a staple of 'Juridiquês' (legal jargon). Brazilians often joke about how lawyers use such phrases to make simple things sound complicated. In Portugal, the phrase is very common in formal administrative notices from the government (Finanças, Segurança Social). It sounds very authoritative. In African Lusophone countries, the formal register of Portuguese is often strictly maintained in official media, making this phrase very common in news broadcasts. In the corporate world of São Paulo or Lisbon, using this phrase in a presentation shows that you have conducted a serious 'Análise de Risco' (Risk Analysis).
