Brazil infrastructure spending will face obstacles
Keyword(s):
Significance Brazilian infrastructure requires urgent investment. Fiscal constraints are strengthening the government’s inclination towards privatisation and concession plans. As part of the Investment Partnerships Programme (PPI), auctions regarding operation and administration of airports, ports and railways in the country have attracted foreign investors and exceeded the government’s initial targets. Impacts Sluggish infrastructure investment will affect daily life in large cities and hinder long-term export competitiveness. Political turbulence may undermine foreign investors’ interest in Brazil. New rounds of infrastructure auctions will partially offset low public investment.
