* The council for Brazil’s investment partnerships programme (PPI), part of the secretary of government (Segov), has held its first meeting under the government of President Jair Bolsonaro and announced that it expects its portfolio of infrastructure projects to attract R$1.6trn (US$400bn) in investments. The programme now boasts a portfolio of 105 development projects across 14 different sectors, following the approval of 59 new projects by the PPI’s council. The PPI, which oversees concessions and privatisations of the federal government’s infrastructure projects, was created in 2016 under former president Michel Temer (2016-2019) to encourage private investment into the country’s infrastructure. The PPI has highlighted that 147 of its previously approved 193 projects have been completed and are expected to generate R$260.2bn in investments over the coming years.
