Brazil has unveiled a multibillion-dollar plan to auction off oil, power rights and infrastructure concessions, in an attempt by Brazilian President Michel Temer's administration to bolster private and foreign investment in the largest Latin American economy.
The Brazilian government will sell operating licenses for
airports in the cities of Porto Alegre, Salvador, Florianopolis and Fortaleza
by the first quarter of 2017. It also plans to sell rights to operate federal
roads in the center-west and south regions later next year. Guidelines for
bidding for rounds to build or operate airports, roads, mining and energy
projects, as well as grain and fuel depots will be published in Portuguese and
English later this year.
