Attending the ceremony were President Jair Bolsonaro, U.S. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, Guedes, and Exim Bank President Kimberly Reed.

According to Guedes, in the first year of the government, the focus was on controlling public spending, but now the economic team wants to broaden investment horizons, especially in the areas of logistical infrastructure, oil, and natural gas.
According to him, the Congress is approving the modernization of regulatory frameworks.
