Paulo Guedes is criticized, while Tarcísio de Freitas, from Infrastructure, is praised for job creation

Infrastructure concessions will generate billions in investments and help create millions of jobs, according to a dossier compiled by Folha de S. Paulo

The role of leading the search for job creation in Brazil is in the hands of Paulo Guedes, Minister of Economy, who has held the position since the beginning of the Bolsonaro government. However, time passed and the reforms and privatizations that Paulo Guedes so many dreams are increasingly distant from coming to life. Meanwhile, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, Minister of Infrastructure, has been working and achieving important advances in privatizations and investments in the sector. A Sheet made a long article analyzing these two important points of the Government.

• National Forum for Expansion of the Port Logistics Sector will take place in Brasília this Tuesday
• Minister says that oil and gas auctions can raise R$ 106 billion
• Rail network in São Paulo should motivate more than R$ 7 billion in investment
• Prevented contractors may return to participate in bids
• Rio's docks are in the sights of the government's privatization program

Paulo Guedes (economy) prepared the job recovery plan, based on privatizations and reforms. However, none of his plans advanced, but concessions from the Minister of Infrastructure indicate that the generation of jobs can take off. The auctions of the Ministry of Infrastructure, led by Tarcísio, should generate, by the end of next year, 2022, around 3,6 million jobs across the country.

Creation of jobs with infrastructure

The concessions of Ministry of Infrastructure 2021 should raise around BRL 84 billion. Investments in these projects should generate around 1,2 million job openings in the country, helping to reduce unemployment, which is breaking records every day. The generation of jobs will mostly come from the investment contracts that were signed together with the concession contracts.

Tarcísio is practically taking over the place that was supposed to belong to Paulo Guedes, when it comes to job creation in the country. By the end of Bolsonaro's term, the expectation is that R$ 260 billion will be invested, which not only raises the employment rate, but also opens up opportunities for multinationals to come and operate in Brazil. Only the areas of railways and ports should generate 1,1 million jobs. Minister Tarcísio has been gaining ground throughout the Government and Congress.

While Tarcísio wins praise, Paulo Guedes is increasingly criticized for the delay in privatizations and reforms. The actions of the then Ministry of Infrastructure are occupying a space to help and save the projects of Paulo Guedes. Today, Tarcísio is appointed as Bolsonaro's most important minister.
