巴西新政府周二推出一项全面私有化计划,包括拍卖油气、电力和基础设施项目的运营许可,希望藉以提振投资,带动国内经济摆脱80年来最严重的衰退局面。
巴西政府计划在明年3月前出售数个城市的机场运营许可,并计划在明年晚些时候出售中西部和南部地区的联邦公路经营权。
此外,这一计划还包括出售国家铁路经营权,并计划在2017上半年和下半年拍卖油田及水电站坝的相关经营权。
Brazil’s new President Michel Temer is trying to reduce a record budget deficit and control debt by selling assets. The country's fiscal problems have cost it its investment-grade rating and undermined investor confidence in the country.
At the end of 2015, Brazil’s external debt balance was US$665 billion, a nearly 90% increase from US$352.7 billion in 2014.
In 2015, Brazil’s GDP fell by 4%.今年第二季度巴西GDP环比萎缩0.6%,同比萎缩3.8%,这是巴西经济连续第六个季度出现负增长,为1996年以来的最糟糕表现。 The current number of unemployed people in Brazil reaches 11.6 million, and the unemployment rate is as high as 11.6%.
“We need to open up to the private sector because the state cannot do everything,” Temer said in discussions with ministers.
在私有化计划中负责提高民资参与度的Wellington Moreira Franco称,政府授权将带来“真实可靠的”回报率,并保证民资可以从国有银行获得长期贷款,或是通过发债在资本市场筹资。
While attending the G20 Summit, Brazilian President Temer also held talks with Chinese investors to discuss infrastructure investment opportunities in Brazil. Pakistan and relevant Chinese units have signed 9 agreements, which can be described as fruitful results.这些协议包括:在巴西北部建设一座30亿美元的钢厂、在马拉尼昂州(Maranhao )投资4.5亿美元兴建码头、设立10亿美元的农业发展基金等,双方还就评估中国参与巴基础设施项目达成协议。
特梅尔政府一直希望通过基础设施项目拍卖、国有企业私有化等措施来推动巴西经济发展,而与中国签署的这些协议恰好能帮助推行其施政方案。
