Brazil to Issue “Panda Bonds” in China, Aiming to Raise Up to 5 Billion Yuan at Lower Interest Rates Than Dollar Debt
Recently, a movement of rapprochement between President Jair Bolsonaro and Xi Jinping, along with the current Brazilian scenario, involving various concession and privatization projects, has led the Asians to reconsider Brazil as a location for investments.
The expectation is that, still this year, they will inject approximately US$ 7 billion into the country, according to Eduardo Centola, president of Modal bank and a member of the Brazil-China Business Council (CEBC).
Experts affirm that the Chinese can and want to do here what they have already done in Africa. One of the world’s powers, China is a reference in infrastructure, road construction, railways, and hydroelectric plants, in countries such as Mozambique, South Africa, and Angola.
The main target has been the company Sabesp, considered the largest private water and sewage treatment company in the country. 50.3% of the company, valued at R$ 40 billion, is owned by the government of the State of São Paulo, which is considering whether to divest its stake or find a partner to purchase half of its share.
Everything will depend on public concessions for existing projects in the country. In addition to the federal government, states and municipalities are seeking private partnerships for their companies, many of which are in debt.
