Brazil is expected to become fertile ground for international investors who want to fund infrastructure projects. Gulf nations are well-positioned to take part in that process.
Various reasons make Brazil a good destination for investments currently. Not only does it need to urgently develop its logistical systems and energy production infrastructures, but its authorities also learned over time that they need to work with public-private partnerships if they want to have access to the necessary funds and stimulate change.
This is an interesting moment for potential investments given that the first years of government usually bring new possibilities.
The country opened the door for private investment in the public sector over the past 30 years, and now there are no political risks for foreign agents in the country.
Many partnership opportunities will emerge in renewable energy, and Brazil already has a solid concession model.
Projects are being developed to produce biofuels, bidding rounds for wind power plants will keep being opened, and solar energy will see larger growth.
The South American country is the largest exporter of halal protein in the world, so partnerships with Gulf nations to improve Brazil’s logistical systems would be only natural.
One of the successful cases of cooperation between Gulf nations and Brazil in infrastructure was the participation of the UAE’s Mubadala Capital in Rio de Janeiro’s subway system.
