REVIEW OF 2023

In Brazil, the capital markets area has been influenced by a series of economic, political, and global factors. Volatility and global uncertainty have hit companies and investors in the country. Economic reforms in Brazil are also being awaited, with 2023 marking the start of discussions and implementation. The IPO market is also influenced by high-interest rates, which continue to be a disincentive.

Despite the challenging scenario, our capital markets team remained cohesive, working with long-standing clients and new partners.

We completed an incredible number of closed deals.

In the infrastructure sector, Aegea (waste company) and in the highways area Energy, especially investments in renewable sources, Hypera (pharmaceutical sector)t, Banks and securitization companies remain important clients and partners in this area.
