In the first of a series – LatAm Uncovered – the Infra Dig podcast set up stall in Panama for a host of fascinating interviews recorded at the Inter America Development Bank conference, PPP Americas.
Here, IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville sits down with Marcus Cavalcanti – special secretary for the investment partnerships programme for the federal government of Brazil.
In a high-level interview (15 minutes, ably translated by IJ colleague Albert Negron) with Mr Cavalcanti lifts the veil on a range of infrastructure investments that are shortly coming to market in Brazil.
A must-listen for all infrastructure professionals with an interest in Latin America, Mr Cavalcanti drills down into individual projects across transport, water and wastewater treatment (which has undergone some changes of late to open up the market to private and public investment), energy transition, smart cities, forestry PPPs… and so much more including the role of BNDES.
