This is the second of three articles on the legacy of the Temer years at Palácio do Planalto for infrastructure projects in Brazil and what challenges lie ahead for the Bolsonaro years. The first article focused on state owned enterprises (SOEs) – especially Petrobras and Eletrobras. The Temer government initiatives include better corporate governance and reduction of some of the dominance those two SOEs had in their markets via sales of assets. However, there are still open questions as the sale of assets are targeted with judicial decisions and political manoeuvers. This article will focus on the changes affecting the government when designing, approving and financing infrastructure projects.
