The information was made public this Wednesday (28) by Infrastructure minister Tarc\u00edsio Gomes de Freitas (<em>pictured above<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The minister spoke during the launch of a new loop ramp for trucks at the Port of Rio de Janeiro that will handle approximately 2,600 heavy vehicles a day. He discussed expected investments and stressed their importance to national development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concessions program is the way to go. It shields us from the lack of resources and enables major investments. We are moving forward with the transfer of these BRL 260 billion in assets to the private sector, and this will yield very important economic results in years to come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Planned concessions include a sprawling federal highway network and renewal of highways already under concession. Ports will also be put under concession, and ongoing airport concessions will continue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-292069\">Ricardo Botelho\/Aescom Minfra<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infrastructure minister Tarc\u00edsio Gomes de Freitas said the amount should be invested in projects under concession to the private sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2315,"featured_media":292069,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[114],"tags":[16916,37005,7386,5887,7962,9270,1751,20290,27349],"class_list":{"0":"post-292072","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-concession-en","9":"tag-aeroportos-en","10":"tag-airport","11":"tag-highway","12":"tag-infrastructure","13":"tag-minister","14":"tag-port","15":"tag-tarcisio-gomes-de-freitas","16":"tag-transportes-en-2"},"wps_subtitle":"Infrastructure minister Tarc\u00edsio Gomes de Freitas said the amount should be invested in projects under concession to the private sector.
