The Infrastructure
context in Brazil
A decades-old pattern of infrastructure
under-investment, which has also been
combined with an astonishing rise of
millions into the Brazilian middle class.
This has created more demand for basic
infrastructure electricity, air travel,
road use, freight and passenger travel,
the whole gamut of activity associated
with rapidly expanding purchasing
power and discretionary income.

Indeed, every week a new announcement

is made to enable further expansion of
the infrastructure sector. Much of this, of
course, is targeting the up-coming 2014
World Cup and 2016 Olympic games. And
while there are many reasons for Brazil to
celebrate these tournaments nearly a
quarter of a million jobs will be generated
along with more than USD 116 billion
in direct and indirect economic benefit
from the World Cup alone the realities
for Brazil, the great promise and the big
challenges, transcend these two near-term
events. The countrys great hope may rest
upon a vision of Brazils extended game
the long-term bet that hinges upon
harnessing the countrys astonishing assets.

Infrastructure in Brazil

Unprecedented
development opportunity
The current infrastructure
development boom has arguably no
precedents in Brazilian history.
BNDES (National Bank for Social
and Economic Development)
estimates that infrastructure
investments may reach 2.5% or
3% of the gross domestic product
(GDP) by 2014.

Stable returns
Infrastructure can offer stable
returns, combining:
A premium to pure
government investments.
Stable cash-yields in the case
of mature assets.
Significant IRRs in the case of
Greenfield projects.

Between 2003 and 2011,

approximately 40 million
individuals joined the Brazilian
middle class, increasing this group
from 65.9 to 105.5 million.

Attractive growth
market drivers
Growth and urbanization of
population.
Economic growth, increasing
personal wealth and demand for
higher quality infrastructure.
Low correlation with developed
markets.
Historical underinvestment in
infrastructure.
Improving investment environment.
Privatizations and public-private
initiatives.

Brazil has over 1,200 ongoing

infrastructure projects which will
involve investments of USD 348.5
billions. Around 60% are in the
initial phase.

Drivers for infrastructure

Five-year plans for infrastructure

Improvement of Brazilian
infrastructure is crucial to
maintaining the countrys
stable growth.

Brazil has been making news for the size

and scope of its infrastructure ambitions
ever since they were jump-started in
2007 by the governments Growth
Acceleration Investment Program
(PAC 1) followed by a 2nd program that
began in 2010 (PAC2) that has led to
more than twelve thousand private
and public infrastructure projects.
Ten projects related to oil, gas, and
biofuels account for about half of
PAC2s almost trillion dollars planned
infrastructure investments by 2016 and
beyond, according to Business Monitor
International.

Investments in infrastructure are

essential for creation of jobs and
business opportunities, increasing
competitiveness and social living
improvements.
Brazil will carry out a major
renovation of its infrastructure,
including ports and logistics,
airports and transport, railroads,
highways, energy and sports arenas.
Brazil will host both the 2014 World
Cup and the 2016 Olympic games.
Governments Growth Acceleration
Investment Program (PAC2)
estimates investments in the 12
host cities around: USD 3.3 billion
for stadiums; USD 6.8 billion for
urban mobility; USD 0.4 billion for
passenger terminals and ports; and
USD 1.2 billion for building and
renovating the hotel sector.

Sector major trends

Highlights
The PPPs law has increased
transparency and reduced
regulatory uncertainties, but
unfortunately it has yet to produce
tangible results.
Infrastructure offers better returns
than the short-term interest rate as
inflation risk is covered.
BNDES*, a crucial financier of
infrastructure, is deemed to be
lending at unsustainable high levels
to support PAC projects.

Growing concern over the

governments spending, which
has caused the economy to
overheat, means that spending
cuts are necessary. Cuts totaling
USD 25 billion have already been
announced, with infrastructure
relatively unaffected; however,
it is likely that further reductions
be needed.
High costs and shortages of
skilled labor are hitting returns on
investments.
Environmental approvals for major
projects may suffer delays.
Brazil will carry out a major
renovation of its infrastructure,
focused on 9 core sectors for
investments.
