Scaling-up infrastructure investment to strengthen sustainable development in Brazil
Infrastructure investment has been low in Brazil over the last decades, leaving significant
gaps in all infrastructure sectors. To close these gaps, public investment will need
to increase and become more effective, while additional private resources need to
be mobilised. Improving strategic planning and effectively translating it into budget
allocations over time would increase the quality of infrastructure projects. Promoting
foreign participation in public procurement would raise competition and value for
public money, while strengthening the governance of SOEs would enhance the quality
of infrastructure services. Minimising policy and judicial risks would help to leverage
more private infrastructure financing, including at longer maturities, while ensuring
an adequate risk sharing between public and private actors.
