Rodovias: a carteira de leilões do próximo Governo

In the coming government, President Lula or Flávio will find a series of infrastructure projects to offer to the market in the years to come. Minister of Transport George Santoro presented today a portfolio of 36 new road auctions that could be conducted until 2030. This represents a record average of 9 tenders per year, surpassing the 7 annual tenders between 2023 and 2026, with up to 11 of them scheduled for the first year of the new administration.

Santoro told journalists that the goal of 11 tenders for the coming year is extremely bold, as the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) has stated it can handle only 7. The ministry works with some flexibility and may rearrange projects as some may take longer to advance or get stuck in the Union Audit Court. In 2023, for instance, during its first roadshow on B3, the ministry projected 32 road auctions for Lula's third term, but will deliver 29 by December.

Santoro noted that the ANTT faces limitations in personnel and budget, and they are attempting an ambitious endeavor, but are aware of the limitations of the agency, the TCU, and all the processes.
