BRAZIL’S INFRASTRUCTURE AUCTIONS EXPECTED TO DRAW R$24BN THIS MONTH

In the last week of October, a series of concession auctions will be held daily at B3, featuring six projects in education, highways, sanitation, and lottery operations, potentially attracting R$24.2 billion in investments. Four projects are backed by the São Paulo state government, with the Sorocabana Highway concession expected to generate R$8.8 billion in investment and set for bidding on October 30. Competition is expected, particularly from CCR, the current operator of ViaOeste. Additionally, a federal auction for the Rota do Zebu highway is scheduled for October 31, with investments of R$4.4 billion. A major water and sewage concession auction in Piauí is also planned for the same week, aiming to generate R$8.6 billion, following a previous failed attempt that was adjusted to allow installment payments.
