In 2023, the infrastructure sector in Brazil demonstrated resilience and growth, showing significant recovery and growth after facing challenges in previous years. The government implemented various initiatives aimed at attracting investments and stimulating infrastructure development across the country. Notably, 2023 was a landmark year for the delegation of ports, specifically in port leasing, and for highways, with the concession of numerous segments at both federal and state levels, alongside the development of projects in the sanitation sector.
