The Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio de Freitas, announced the information on Monday, December 20, after conducting a balance on the situation. Among the assets the ministry expects to auction in 2022 are the 16 airports from the seventh and final round of airport concessions, plus two terminals that will be re-auctioned (Viracopos-SP and São Gonçalo do Amarante-RN). In this segment, the forecast is to move R$ 13.4 billion in investments.

Among the airports that will be available for concession are Santos Dumont, in Rio de Janeiro, and Congonhas, in Greater São Paulo.

Highways, Railways, and Ports

In the highway segment, the Ministry of Infrastructure intends to negotiate 14 concessions, which entail 8,800 kilometers of roads and R$ 81.6 billion in investments. Plans include BR-381/262 (MG/ES), BR-116/493 (Rio-Valadares), six highway lots in Paraná, BR-040/495/MG/RJ, among others.

Additionally, the ministry aims to contract R$ 55.79 billion in investments regarding railways, through two contract renewals and the concession of Ferrogrão.

For the port sector, the Ministry intends to carry out two major privatizations: the Companhia Docas do Espírito Santo (Codesa) and the Organized Port of Santos.

“It will be the country with the most privatized infrastructure in the world, because we will have privatized ports, granted airports, almost half of the federal highway network granted, authorized railways, as well as sanitation granted or privatized, and energy both in transmission and distribution also in the hands of the private sector. In other words, all infrastructure sectors will have at least significant private sector participation,” declared the Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio de Freitas.

Reduction of Unemployment and Sustainability

According to Tarcísio, private sector participation will reduce unemployment, increase the sustainability of Brazilian infrastructure, and make the sector more productive.

The minister also stated that the plans are based on long-term thinking, with significant results expected over the next 15 years. Furthermore, he affirmed that Brazil “must be the leader in infrastructure in Latin America.”

For 2022, the Ministry of Infrastructure expects to deliver eight works from its own budget. Tarcísio informed that the goals are to deliver projects at the Fernando de Noronha Airport, the duplication of BR-470 (SC), the duplication of the Pelotas (RS) bypass, the North-South Railway, the second Brazil-Paraguay Bridge, and the urban crossing of São José do Rio Preto (SP).

In 2021, the Federal Government contracted R$ 37.6 billion from the private sector to invest in transportation over the coming years.
