The Ministry of Infrastructure – MInfra promises investments of over R$130 billion, in contracts for the next year, with the transfer of more than 50 assets of these investments intended for privatizations.

According to MInfra Minister Tarcísio Gomes, on this Monday (14) during a presentation of the department’s balance and prospects for the next year, he assured that the transfer of investments in these assets intended for privatizations will generate more than 2 million jobs during the works.

According to MInfra Minister, in the year 2020, more than 8 assets intended for privatizations were auctioned

“Even though 2020 was a challenging year due to the pandemic, we did not lose focus. We completed 86 priority works, 1,200 km of highways, and did not stop any activity,” said the head of the department.

According to the MInfra minister, in the year 2020, more than 8 assets intended for privatizations were auctioned, with over R$ 30 billion in investments for privatizations. “To give you an idea, this is more than twice the MInfra budget,” he compared. In addition to BR-101 in Santa Catarina, the other assets referred to by the MInfra minister are port terminals located in Fortaleza/CE, Vila do Conde/PA, two in Santos, and four to be finalized on December 18: Aratu (2), Maceió, and Paranaguá/PR.
