The 6720 Brazilian Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), 7052 Banco do Brasil (BB) and Caixa Economica Federal banks will form an investment fund to participate in future federal roadway tenders.
The move, announced by the Brazilian government, aims to bring more companies into the bidding process by offering more diverse financial solutions. After a winner is declared, the concessionaire will decide whether or not the fund will participate in the concession. The fund may never have a share greater than 49%. According to the Brazilian Minister of Transportation, Paulo Passos, rules will be disclosed in detail in late January 2013, when the BR-040 and BR-116 roadway tenders take place.
