Opportunities In Brazil's New Infrastructure Program

In the last two decades Brazil made some progress in its infrastructure. New roads were built and existing ones repaired, new ports were created, the power grid was expanded and major airports were modernized, among other advancements. But it is still far from ideal. As a developing country with a population of more than 200 million and the 5th largest territory in the planet, the nation's infrastructure continues to be in dire need of improvement. The economic and political crisis in Brazil unfortunately put a halt to many infrastructure projects. In an attempt to address this need and also try to revive the country's economy, Brazil's new government has launched the Programa de Parceria de Investimentos (PPI), a new infrastructure program.
