In an interview with Folha de S. Paulo, the current secretaries of the Ministry of Economy estimate that the amounts raised will be around R$ 52 billion.
Scheduled by the government, on November 6, the mega auction could provide an injection of over R$ 106 billion into the Union’s coffers, with the payment date before Christmas (2019). The distribution will be as follows:

Waldery Rodrigues Júnior, Special Secretary of Finance said: “This is by far the largest fiscal event of the year. The transfer allows for important relief.” Both attended the event held by the bank BTG Pactual.
