The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) will provide R$ 500 million for efforts related to preventing, combating and diagnosing disease related to the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. The financing was announced on March 23, in Brasília, during a ceremony held at the Palácio do Planalto, with President Dilma Rousseff presiding.

The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) is taking on new measures to improve the financing conditions for Brazil’s production sector, so as to preserve production, jobs and income. One focus is to alleviate the cash flow for companies, allowing them to refinance operations using the BNDES PSI and expanding the term to quit debts in new operations using the BNDES Card.

The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) have just launched a study “Structuring PPP and Concession Projects in Brazil: Diagnosis of the Brazilian model and proposals for improvement”. The study comprises a map of development models for private participation projects in Brazil and worldwide.
