Experts believe that a new round of privatizations will increase foreign participation in state assets. It is believed that the reduction in foreign direct investment until 2020 is a timely response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The exit of some Brazilian companies occurred in the location sector, such as automobiles and other precarious market conditions.
Luiz Claudio Campos, responsible for government and public sector in Brazil and South America at consultancy EY, says that “There is excess liquidity in the international market, increasing capital-intensive investments. There are opportunities in the federal government’s privatization programs, as well as state and municipal concessions. With the approval of the gas legal framework, it is possible that the privatization of the sector will accelerate at the state level.”

Participation in State-Owned Enterprises:
Since the 1990s, companies with foreign capital have played an important role in the privatization of businesses in Brazil, where at least five of the nine privatized companies had 15% or more of their shares held by foreign investors.
The mining company Vale is a strong example, where foreign shareholders hold 57% of the company’s shares. Embraer, the third-largest manufacturer of commercial aircraft in the world, has offices, industrial departments, parts distribution centers, and services in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe, with foreigners holding 15.1% of the shares.
