100% of the auction resources from Paraná highways
will be invested in the state

The Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, decided with parlia-
mentarians from the federal bench of Paraná a change in the concession proj-
ect of more than 3,000 kilometers of highways: 100% of the resources raised in
the auction will be applied in the state itself. That means that any tie-breaking
value will be used entirely on the highway itself, for the benefit of the user. More
than R$ 42 billion in investments are expected in more than 3 thousand kilo-
meters of federal and state highways, which will transform the agribusiness of
Paraná and make the state even more competitive. In addition, another R$ 34
billion will be allocated to the provide maintenance and service to end-users.

in airport auctions

Minister Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas said that at least 15 business groups have al-
ready shown interest in the three airport blocks that are going to be auctioned
in the first quarter of 2021, on April 7th, at the São Paulo Stock Exchange. In to-
tal, 22 airports will be granted to the private sector: 9 from the Southern Block
including Foz do Iguaçu, Curitiba and Navegantes; 7 from the North Block, such
as Manaus, Porto Velho and Boa Vista; and another 6 from the Central Block,
with Goiânia, São Luís and Teresina. “We faced the biggest crisis in the airline
industry in history during the pandemic and now we will have an auction that
promises to be very competitive. I am very enthusiastic. We already have six
groups interested in the South Block, four in the North Block and another 5 in
the Central Block. We are offering excellent assets, and no one wants to be left
out”, assessed the Minister.

“Ferrogrão and BR-163/PA concession are the solutions
for access to the port of Miritituba”, said the Minister

During a meeting with port operators and grain producers in the north and cen-
tarl-west region, Minister Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas stressed that the perma-
nent solution for the flow of production to the ports of Miritituba, in southwest
Pará, is the concession of BR- 163/ PA and construction of Ferrogrão. “With the
concession of the highway, we are able to an anticipate the necessary invest-
ments as much as possible, so that the problems of queuing up trucks do not
occur again,” explained the Minister. The public notice for the concession of
BR-163/PA will be published in the first quarter and the auction is expected to
take place by the end of the 1st semester.
