Brazil expands credit for infrastructure and green energy

Overview

The Brazilian Senate and Ministry of Finance continue to authorize significant credit operations to fund national and subnational infrastructure, focusing on urban mobility, sanitation, and the energy transition. Recent Senate reviews include R$ 6.3 billion in international loan requests. This includes a US$ 1 billion request from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for the ‘Eco Invest Brasil’ program to attract private capital for ecological transformation. Additionally, the Senate approved a US$ 67 million operation managed by Banco do Nordeste to expand renewable energy sources. In response to these climate-focused investments, members of the Council for Economic and Sustainable Social Development have called for stricter cost-benefit metrics for the Climate Fund to prevent deviations from its intended purpose. Specific municipal and state allocations have also been secured. The City of São Paulo received Senate approval for approximately US$ 701.9 million (R$ 3.62 billion) to decarbonize public transport via 1,100 electric buses and to modernize its hospital network through the ‘Avança Saúde II’ program. In Paraná, the Legislative Assembly proposed a US$ 100 million loan for the ‘Profisco III PR’ project to modernize fiscal management. In Minas Gerais, US$ 304 million was approved, including US$ 204 million for Belo Horizonte’s environmental and sewage projects and US$ 100 million for the ‘Minas Para Resultados’ program. Legislative efforts to modernize the legal framework for concessions and public-private partnerships (PPPs) are progressing. Bill PL 2373/25, which seeks to revise the Concessions Law and the PPP Law, is expected to move forward in the Senate. Marcus Cavalcanti, Special Secretary for the Investment Partnership Program (PPI), noted that Senator Davi Alcolumbre has reportedly committed to scheduling the matter for debate. The bill aims to expand financing mechanisms and improve risk allocation between the State and private companies to increase legal certainty.
