The government will sell Vale’s private credit securities under the National Privatization Program, with the debentures valued at R$ 2.5 billion. The decree was published this Tuesday, June 4, in the Official Gazette of the Union. The suggestion to sell the papers was approved by the Board of the Partnerships and Investments Program (PPI) last month and needed to be confirmed by the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro.

In May of this year, the PPI also decided to include 59 new projects in the list of ventures to be granted to the private sector in the coming years.
Authorization for the concession of highways, railways, ports, waterways, airports, transmission lines, oil and gas reserves was granted.
The inclusion of minority shareholding held by the Union in the capital stock of IRB-Brasil Resseguros was also submitted for approval by our president, Jair Bolsonaro.

The Union’s equity portfolio in IRB, based on the closing price of April 29, has a market value of approximately R$ 3.5 billion.

The current government believes that, in the next 10 years, up to R$ 1.57 trillion will be raised.

The decree published today designates the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) as responsible for the execution and monitoring of the sale of Vale’s debentures.

Debentures are private credit securities used by companies to finance their projects. The information comes from Agência Brasil.
