Analysis carried out by the Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan) regarding the impacts introduced by the pandemic in the oil and gas sector cites as one of the consequences of the drop in production and consumption in the oil and gas sector is the decrease in the collection of royalties and taxes by the state of Rio de Janeiro.

The entity predicts that the ICMS (Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services) will have a loss of 8% in total collection, compared to last year's average.

For states and municipalities, the damage should be even greater, since the collection of royalties should reach just R$ 12,7 million per day, which shows a reduction of 50,5% compared to the average of 2019, which had average revenue of R$ 25,7 million per day.

Karine Fragoso, manager of Oil, Gas and Naval at Firjan says: “This new crisis brings a lot of concern to the market, which had been treading a growing curve of production and hiring of direct and indirect workers, as a response to past crises and the hiatus of auctions that have been resumed”.

Karine also believes that the strengthening of the industrial base will be the main means for recovering the demands and also says: “the recovery of the economy creates jobs, generates income and expands the collection base, which helps the state to move towards diversity economical”.
