With The Expected Pre-Salt Resources, The Government’s Debt Could Decrease From R$139 Billion To R$ 87 Billion
Part of the funds from the pre-salt that will be collected by the government at the end of the year (November) will not be spent on anything other than amortizing federal government expenses. 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:
-
Fiserv, the world’s largest payment processor, has just inaugurated its first factory outside Asia in Brazil. The unit in Betim (MG) will produce 100,000 Clover payment terminals per year and is part of a US$100 million investment that includes technology and expansion until 2027.
-
Brazilian city of the tilted buildings is being “taken over” by the sea and will have a park as a natural barrier on the sand to contain erosion, storm surges, and climate impacts after the water’s advance reached stretches of the Santos waterfront.
-
City that lost entire beaches bets on “living speed bumps” at the bottom of the ocean: US$1.8 million project uses artificial reef and promontories to slow down waves, retain sand, and try to reverse decades of erosion in California
-
Brooms are becoming a thing of the past: new technology with a cordless vacuum cleaner featuring up to 60 minutes of run time, 3x more powerful suction, and anti-mite filters promises to eliminate up to 99% of dust and revolutionize cleaning in 2026.
- R$ 33.6 billion will go to Petrobras
- States and municipalities will receive R$ 10.5 billion each
- R$ 52 billion for the federal government
According to the Secretary of the National Treasury, Mansueto Almeida, these resources cannot be part of the expenditure estimate in the budget due to these amounts entering almost in the last week of 2019. 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.
The government expects these pre-salt resources to reduce the Union’s debt from R$139 billion to R$ 87 billion, being deducted from the goal of reducing the primary deficit.
