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.”
