Brazil’s concession program attracts investors with over US$ 2 trillion in assets

Brazil’s program to grant concession contracts to private investors will be the focus of talks held with international investors with at least $2 trillion in assets and whose operations are present in more than 50 countries.

Between Monday, May 09, and Friday, May 13, the Brazilian delegation led by the Minister of Infrastructure, Marcelo Sampaio, will present the portfolio that, for 2022 alone, is expected to grant 44 assets and guarantee R$ 110 billion in private investments.

Through individual meetings and conferences with various sector representatives, the Brazilian delegation will meet with around 30 different groups. Among the interlocutors are investment funds Macquire (AUS), Artisan Partner (FRA), Mubadala (United Arab Emirates), asset manager Jennison Associates (USA), and asset manager Pátria, which operates in Latin America. In addition, worldwide banking institutions and stockbrokers such as UBS, Itaú BBA, Bank of America, and XP Investimentos are also part of this list.

During this period, the Brazilian delegation will engage in discussions with partners to better understand the obstacles to investing in Brazil and find ways to overcome them. Another objective is to answer questions from companies interested in investing in Brazil in projects such as the seventh round of airport privatization, the next round of port privatization, and the next round of road privatization.

Meetings

Opening the first day of talks, Sampaio meets with Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC, New York fund manager Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), major market investors, and asset manager BTG Pactual.

The destatization of the Port of Santos is also among the biggest highlights of the project portfolio. With estimated investments in the range of R$ 16 billion during the duration of the contract, the project should attract fund managers and multinationals in the logistics sector with an eye on the port sector.

Others seek opportunities for investing in assets strong on the ESG precepts, a priority guideline for all MInfra projects.
