3 INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM (PPI) The Brazilian economy is on a recovery from an economic slump. The government has employed strategies aimed at enhancing the growth and development of the Brazilian economy by creating the PPI project. This project aims at a growth model whereby the Federal Government expands and strengthens its relationship with the private sector through investments in infrastructure and privatization projects. The main tools are concessionary agreements with the private sector; this will strengthen legal security of the project, regulatory stability and modernize governance on existing projects, further stimulating growth.
The objectives of the PPI are: Ÿ Expand investment and employment opportunities and stimulate technological and industrial development, in harmony with the country's social and economic development goals; Ÿ Ensure the expansion of public infrastructure quality, with adequate tariffs for users; Ÿ Promote fair competition in the celebration of partnerships and the provision of services; Ÿ Ensure the stability and legal security of contracts, with the guarantee of minimal intervention in business and investment; Ÿ Strengthen the regulatory role of the State and the autonomy of state regulatory entities.
The PPI projects include public infrastructure projects implemented through partnership agreements between the public administration and the private sector. Also included in this list are the projects of the National Privatization Program. The sectors covered include railways, highways, airports, ports, hydroelectric power plants, electricity and mining.
Financing of the projects is done through the National Economic and Social Development Bank (BNDES). This is a nancial institution that supports the PPI; its actions involve analysis of the nancial structure of projects included in the Program, offering nancing lines, once the required credit requirements have been met, managing the National Privatization Fund (FND) and conducting company privatization processes approved by the PPI Board. Another important arm that provides nancing on economic lines is the Caixa Econômica Federal which is a government owned bank and provides lending to national projects.
PPI Projects- Energy, Railways and Sanitation Energy Currently there are over 91 projects, including 23 on electric power, 6 on oil and gas, 25 on Port terminals, 18 on airports, 8 on highways, 8 on railways, 4 under mining and other sectors.
The Ministry of Mines and Energy announced the reorganization and further privatization of Eletrobras; the state owned Power Company, as one of the 23 projects on electric power under the PPI. This reorganization is expected to enhance competitiveness and agility for the company in the management of its operations. 4 Concessions currently being studied include the Amazonas Power Distribution Company, Boa Vista Power Distribution Company, Eletro Acre Power Company, Piaui Power Company, Alagoas Power Company and Rondônia Power Plant.
The effects of this move have so far been felt in the stock markets. According to Economatica, Eletrobras' nancial information provider, the company's shares suffered heavy losses in recent years. This has been turned around by the privatization announcement. The market value of Eletrobras was estimated at R$ 19.5 billion (USD 6.24 billion) considering the closing of the shares on 18th August, 2017. From the announcement, the company saw its market value increase R$ 9.13 billion (USD 2.92 billion) in a single day from R$ 20.17 (USD 6.45) billion to R$ 29.30 (USD 9.38) billion. The value of Eletrobras' ordinary shares rose 49.3% to R$ 21.20 (USD 6.78) The value of preference shares also rose 32.08%, to R $ 23.55 (USD 7.53)
Railways Plans are currently underway by the Government to authorize ve railway projects. These projects cover a stretch of 12.6 thousand kilometers and a cargo carriage of about 457 million tons and include the Carajás Railroad (Pará and Maranhão), the Vitória-Minas Railroad, the FCA (Mid-West and Southeast), the ALL-Malha Paulista and the MRS, which runs through Minas Gerais, through Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The investment is planned to cover USD 8 billion in the next ve years.
Sanitation Plans are underway to privatize water distribution and sewage collection and treatment systems in almost 1,786 municipalities of 14 states. These states include Acre, Amapá, Santa Catarina, Alagoas, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe, Bahia, Piauí, Tocantins and Amazonas. Studies are still being contracted to dene which concession model will be adopted in each state.
5 MATO GROSSO Mato Grosso is Brazil's third largest state by area. By comparison it is larger in area than the areas of the east African countries of Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi combined. Located in the western part of the country, Mato Grosso is surrounded by the states of Rondônia, Amazonas, Pará, Tocantins, Goiás and Mato Grosso do Sul. It is the border state between Brazil and Bolivia. It was originally larger but, during the 1980's, was split into Mato Grosso (the northern part) and Mato Grosso do Sul (in the south).
Mato Grosso has one of the lowest population densities among the Brazilian states. According to IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Statistics), by the beginning of 2017, 3.3 million people resided in the state. Its capital is Cuiabá and it has an economy that is mainly dominated by the agricultural sector, accounting for about 40.8% of the state's GDP. Other economic activities include tourism, agroforestry and mining.
There are great investment opportunities in the state's agricultural industry. According to the state government's statistics, agribusiness is the main contributor in the state's income. It is the largest producer of soybeans in Brazil, with an output of 15 million tons per year. The state alone accounts for 83% of the total soybean exports of the country. Mato Grosso also produces huge volumes of cotton, with an annual average of 1.1 million tons per year. It is the second largest rice producer, with 1.7 million tons per year; the fth largest producer of sugarcane and seventh largest producer of corn in Brazil.
Although grain production is massive, land use only covers approximately 8% of Mato Grosso's territory. With the introduction of new technologies in the eld, such as new equipment and improved irrigation systems, producers expect the state to increase productivity in agriculture and reduce negative environmental impacts.
Mato Grosso is a super power state in livestock farming. According to IBGE, in the second quarter 2017, the state had the highest number of cattle slaughtered in the country, slaughtering about 1.1 million heads of cattle. In the same period, the number of pigs and chicken slaughtered in the state ran to 600 thousand and 55 thousand respectively. Mato Grosso's cattle ranching follows international standards on sanitation in order to guarantee quality in the produce that is exported to countries such as China, Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and many more. Swine and poultry farming activities are growing in Mato Grosso, mainly due to the availability of grain in the state. Mining is also very strong in Mato Grosso. According to the national department of mineral production (DNPM), Mato Grosso is the largest diamond producer with 88% of total Brazilian production (2015). In addition to the diamonds, the availability of gold deposits makes the state a potential market for the manufacture of jewels and semi-jewels from precious stones. The state is also known for colored stones such as amethyst, pink quartz, agate and tourmaline.
Tourism under the service industry is the second largest contributor to Mato Grosso's economy. The topography and beautiful landscapes offer major tourist attractions. The terrain is rippled by a handful of small mountain 6 ranges, including cliffs, canyons, waterfalls, swamps and forests as well as cattle ranches, riverine villages and Indian reservations. With this, a trip across the state will be an experience of a lifetime for the adventurous traveller. Mato Grosso is also home to three of the world's richest ecosystems, the renowned Pantanal swamp; the Cerrado and the Amazon. These are some of the best places in Brazil to see wildlife, with a wide variety of tourism options including eco-tourism, cultural tourism, and sports tourism.
The Pantanal is the state's major tourist attraction site. It is the world's largest wetland, renowned for its wildlife. It has possibly the densest population of alligators in the world. The region is also known for its array of birdlife, with over 464 identied species and its enormous supply of sh; almost 325 species, including the great piranha. The city of Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso, is the entry point to the Pantanal. Cuiabá is two and a half hours' journey by air from São Paulo and tourists from various countries frequent the city as they pay visits to the natural attractions offered by the state.

7 RECENT HIGHLIGHTS - BRAZIL August Ination falls to lowest level in 18 years August 2017 marked the lowest ination in Brazil since 1999. August ination went lower to 0.19% from July's 0.24% record. This is in comparison to the same period in 2016, when ination was at 0.44%. The performance went against analysts' forecasts of a more pronounced 0.31% rise. The deceleration came on the back of falling prices of food and beverages, thanks to a plentiful harvest this year. However, prices for transportation rose, chiey due to a recent tax hike on fuel. Lower ination will make it easy for the Central Bank to continue with its easing cycle to support economic recovery and should help support household spending.
