📋 Tender Overview
Infrastructure projects developed by the states and the Federal District will have more visibility on the platform, as signed by the vice-president and minister of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services (MDIC).
The Monitor is a tool created and maintained by the MDIC, in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which aims to disseminate information about investments and sustainability in the main sectors of the economy, in order to improve their planning and regulation, in addition to disseminating opportunities for potential investors.
By expanding the Investment Monitor to include state projects, we are offering states a strategic tool that increases their visibility among investors, highlighted the Secretary of Competitiveness and Regulatory Policy (SCPR) of the MDIC, Pedro Ivo. Our intention is to assist state administrations in building a more efficient, modern infrastructure capable of boosting regional development.
According to Pedro Ivo, in addition to attracting investments, the platform qualifies the infrastructure necessary for the sustainable socioeconomic development of Brazil, reducing information asymmetries and offering robust data for decision-making by investors and financiers.
SCPR will present, within 90 days, a proposed regulation on the sending of information by states to the digital platform.
Cost reduction
Among other functions, the Investment Monitor gives visibility to one of the main challenges of the Brazil Cost Reduction Agenda (ARCB): infrastructure bottlenecks.
The annual cost to the productive sector in this area is estimated at between R250 billion and R290 billion, at 2022 prices, representing around 16% of the total so-called Brazil Cost. Estimates from the Brazil Cost Observatory indicate that the expansion and diversification of the logistics matrix, with greater balance between modes, has the potential to reduce the cost of logistics infrastructure by R224 billion.
The expectation is that the platform will help attract capital not only for the construction of new assets, but also to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of national production.
The expansion of the Investment Monitor portfolio, with the inclusion of state initiatives, represents a strategic step to attract the necessary volume of investments, estimated at R8.6 trillion by 2050, following the Integrated Long-Term Infrastructure Plan.
Currently, the platform has around 580 projects, of which 290 are under development and another 78 are ready to be tendered. The project portfolio is mainly composed of studies structured within the scope of BNDES and the Investment Partnership Program (PPI).
