Brazil Should Continue Privatizing Companies In Search Of Investments And Job Creation In The Short, Medium And Long Term
The Federal Government worked in recent months to ensure good results in the so-called Infra Week, which took place last week and was considered a success. Airports, ports, and railways were privatized. In total, 3 blocks with 22 airports, five port terminals, and one railway were privatized. The total raised on the last day of the auction was R$ 216 million just in grants. Job creation in infrastructure excites the Government for the next year.
The Minister Of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Freitas, emphasized that the results of the privatizations were very positive. He reaffirmed that the privatization of these assets is further proof of the liberalism of President Jair Bolsonaro’s government. The concessions, according to experts consulted by UOL, obtained by the Federal Government are proof that there are investors attentive to the long term who want to invest in Brazil, despite the economic crisis.

The Ministry Of Infrastructure highlights that it is not expecting job creation already in 2021. However, there is an expectation that these contracts will begin to generate jobs next year and throughout the contract period.
The Ministry noted at the beginning of the month that this first round of privatizations has the potential to generate about 200,000 direct and indirect jobs. With the completion of the privatization of the 78 enterprises expected to be undertaken still in 2021, approximately 2.9 million job vacancies could be generated in the country. This would be a significant relief for the country, reducing the number of unemployed by about 20% currently.
