One of the biggest restrictions to the acceleration of Brazilian economic development is the low volume of investments in the area of ​​infrastructure. It is enough to note that currently these investments correspond to approximately 1.5% of the GDP (5.5% in the seventies and 4.5% in the current world average).

Considering the gravity of the country’s fiscal situation, it is clear that the recovery of infrastructure necessarily involves greater participation by the private sector, which can be made possible through Public – Private Partnerships and via concessions / privatizations.
