Brazil launches comprehensive privatization plan in hopes of saving domestic economy

The Brazilian government plans to sell airport operating licenses in several cities by March next year, and plans to sell federal highway operating rights in the central, western and southern regions later next year.

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。
