BNDES “will sell equity assets and utilize concessions and privatizations”

Maria Silvia Bastos Marques, the new head of the national development bank BNDES, says the bank “will sell equity assets and utilize concessions and privatizations,” and that “she will personally oversee the institution’s privatizations and public-private partnerships until she selects a director to do so. She said she would be ‘pleased and gratified’ if Rio de Janeiro state decides to enlist BNDES to help privatize its water and sewage utility.”
