FLBR - Brazil Is In Dire Need Of More And Better Infrastructure Investments
A recent Ipsos survey found the Brazilian population to be the most dissatisfied with infrastructure services (transportation, energy, water and telecommunications) among the 28 countries covered by the work. Not surprising if we observe the lack of infrastructure investments in Brazil since the 1980s.
According to estimates by the economist Cláudio Frischtak, from Inter B., while Brazil's Gross Domestic Product ((GDP)) doubled in real terms between 1990 and 2016, the stock of infrastructure capacity grew by just 27 %. Chart 1 displays the downfall of Brazil’s infrastructure capital stock as a proportion to GDP.
