Analysis made by the Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan) regarding the impacts brought by the pandemic on the oil and gas sector cites that one of the consequences of the decline in production and consumption in the oil and gas sector is the decrease in royalty and tax collections by the state of Rio de Janeiro.

For states and municipalities, the loss is expected to be even greater, as royalty collection is expected to reach only R$ 12.7 million per day, which shows a reduction of 50.5% compared to the 2019 average, which had an average collection of R$ 25.7 million daily.
Karine Fragoso, manager of Oil, Gas, and Naval at Firjan, states: “This new crisis brings a lot of concern for the market, which had been following a growing curve of production and hiring of direct and indirect workers, in response to past crises and the hiatus of auctions that have been resumed.”
Karine also believes that strengthening the industrial base will be the main means for recovery in demands and adds: “The recovery of the economy creates jobs, generates income, and expands the collection base, which helps the state move towards economic diversity.”
