Investments in Infrastructure Works and Job Creation
According to the Minister of Infrastructure, the government’s concession program is a significant success, as it allows for large investments and addresses the lack of resources. He emphasized that the possible investment of R$ 260 billion in infrastructure works and projects will be directed towards the transfer of assets to the private sector, which, according to the minister, will lead to greater economic repercussions in the future.
Tarcísio also states that job creation will be substantial with the funding to be made for government infrastructure works and projects. He further highlights that, with the execution of the works and projects, around 1 million jobs can be generated, both directly and indirectly.
