Brazil President announces privatization plans

Share Print 0

Brazil’s freshly appointed president has taken to Twitter to announce plans to privatize 12 airports and 4 sea ports.

Right-wing nationalist Jair Bolsonaro was sworn in as Brazil’s president on Tuesday, promising in his inauguration speech to “create a new virtuous cycle to open markets” and “carry out important structural reforms.”

Bolsonaro’s election campaign included promises to transition parts of Brazil’s economy away from state-run enterprises to more private sector operations, and a tweet on Thursday appeared to underline a commitment to that ideology.
