Brazil Aims to Open Short Rail Lines to Private Investment

CORDOBA, ARGENTINA--September 13, 2021--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--According to recent studies, investments in the Brazilian railway sector are estimated to be more than $6 billion. A new regulatory law aims to decentralize the current system of concessions that take place through public bidding processes. The new law, if approved, looks for a system of "authorization" by the federal government, in harmony with regulatory laws of states and municipalities for the construction of short stretches of rail by private initiatives.
