Organized by BNDES (National Bank for Economic and Social Development), a list of privatization projects may be released by the end of 2021. At least 11 privatization notices for companies in the electric power, supply, ports, technology, real estate assets, and natural gas sectors will be launched.

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.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

An “invisible” plant can transform rivers meeting the sea into electricity 24 hours a day: French startup uses nanotechnology to extract energy from the salt difference between fresh and saltwater, without sun, wind, dam, or fuel.

This jumbo egg over 68 grams intrigues consumers on the shelves and reveals a curious detail about the age of the hen in the farms.

Will daylight saving time return? Understand the government’s plan that could change the country’s routine after studies point to the risk of peak energy at night, a drop in solar generation in the late afternoon, and direct impact on Brazilian states.

Venom from Chilean spider found by scientists acts with microscopic precision on human cells, causes necrosis, and may accelerate the development of new treatments for severe bites.
