In May 2024, Portugal’s electric vehicle (EV) market continued to impress, thanks mainly to the performance of plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). José Pontes, data director at ev-volumes.com, explores the market with Autovista24 special content editor Phil Curry. PHEV registrations surged by 12.6% year on year, reaching 2,601 registrations. However, battery-electric vehicle (BEV) deliveries declined by 6.8%. Overall, the EV market represented 29% of all car deliveries that month. Portugal’s generous company-car benefits and cultural interest in EVs contribute to its success. Notably, Tesla’s Model 3 led the EV sales chart with 704 registrations1. 🚗🔌 Read the full article ➡️ https://ow.ly/ftOC50Sx2NS #ElectricVehicles #PHEV #BEV #EVMarket #PortugalEV #AutoIndustry

🎤✨ On May 4th, Madonna lit up Rio with an epic concert at Copacabana, attended by over 1.6 million people. With an investment of 20 million reais (US$ 3.9 million) from state and municipal governments, and strong support from private sponsors, this event not only promised to be grand but truly made history. It is estimated that the show injected about 300 million reais (US$ 59.1 million) into the local economy. A clear example of how music and collaboration can create a significant economic impact. The success of the concert was not only reflected in the city: internet searches for sponsors Banco Itaú, Heineken, and the State Government of Rio de Janeiro also saw a significant increase. This additional interest is an example of the benefits that supporting large cultural events can bring to companies. #madonnainrio #economicalimpact #madonna #digitalmarketing #trends

The Transformative Impact of an AI-Driven Gigafactory: Global leadership of Brazil. Yesterday I talked about the economic impact of the Colossus Cluster for LatAm. Everything is well corroborated, as seen in the innovative projects of Tesla, BYD, CATL - Kstar Science & Technology Co., Ltd. and EVE Energy Co.,Ltd. (highlighting that we are proud partners of their entire line of products for LatAm and the Caribbean). However, what happens when the most sustainable Gigafactory, with a lower carbon footprint, with a more recyclable product and higher energy density than what is available on the market today, is also integrated with AI? Bravo Motor Company Brasil's Colossus Cluster isn’t just a manufacturing marvel; it's a beacon of innovation integrating AI from the ground up. This Gigafactory is set to revolutionize mobility and energy solutions with #stateoftheart products for #MaaS and #BESS. #AI enhances every aspect of the battery design process, from optimizing materials for maximum efficiency to streamlining production lines for unprecedented speed and precision.

Brazil's main issue? Or a US$ 400 Bn business opportunity? According to CNN on April 3rd, 2024, Brazil would need to invest R$1.97 trillion (US$ 400 Billion) in housing by 2033 to end the housing deficit. The data was presented by the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry (Cbic) on Wednesday (3) and corresponds to an annual contribution of R$ 197.5 billion (US$ 40 Bi/year). See details in the link below. Currently, the housing deficit in Brazil is estimated in 6 million units, and another 11.5 million people that live in the favelas (shelters and improper living condition houses) will keep pushing this market demand for years to come. These are the main reasons that foreign investors should invest in the Brazilian construction market: 1 - Infrastructure Development: Brazil is investing in infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, airports, and public transportation. This creates opportunities for construction companies and investors. 2 - Housing Demand: Brazil has a growing population, leading to increased demand for housing. Investing in residential construction can be lucrative. 3 - Commercial Real Estate: Brazil’s commercial real estate market is expanding, especially in cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Office buildings, shopping centers, and hotels offer investment potential. 4 - Tourism and Hospitality: With Brazil being a popular tourist destination, investing in hotel construction or renovating existing properties can yield returns. 5 - Government Incentives: The Brazilian government offers incentives for real estate development, such as tax breaks and financing programs. 6 - Diversification: Investing in Brazil diversifies an investor’s portfolio beyond domestic markets. The Brazilian government and Brazilian construction companies are not able to keep up with demand for the upcoming decade (or decades). Don’t forget to follow us for receiving more interesting information regarding Brazilian economy and business oportunity.

This post deals with Public Private Partnerships- PPPs. First of all, I would like to apologize for publishing a link in Portuguese about a topic as arid and difficult as PPPs contract renegotiations. Second, I want to congratulate the Brazilian magazine Piaui ( heralded as the New Yorker of Brazil) for having the courage to explore such a specific, complex and mercurial topic to a broader, wider audience. Third of all, I would like to kindly remind you all that a general public magazine cannot devote the seriousness and complexity that this topic requires. PPPs contract renegotiation is not easy, and the magazine obviously went for erroneous conclusions and butchered the entire debate by trying to pick sides and “ denounce yet another scandal in Brazil “. One of my great teachers of PPPs Jose Luis Guarch , use to say that the concession really happens in the contract renegotiation phase, not during bidding. Duering my long career dispensing very technical advice on PPPs, I have always reminded governments that they need to hire advisors. A lot of them. Very expensive ones. Simply because the concessionaire always had the best advisors, bankers, lawyers, and they would always win. Hence, government should in fact try to avoid losing too much value, whenever possible. Thus, to try to make a scandal about something as complex as PPP contract renegotiations, when the government always ( or almost always) loses money ( the question becomes how much) and what is the alternative, in terms of value destruction of interrupting a PPP and finding new bidders over a many months and years. These new bidders will have to secure financing and contractors for capex, and service providers for opex. Without looking at the specifics of each project, I can tell, without shadow of a doubt, that this article is very likely to be misleading. This does not take away the merit of Piaui to publish this. But rather it does require the government to hire more and better ( unconflicted, unbiased) advisors to defend their interests in renegotiations. Because the other side is filled to the brim with top consultants. Like I said in the beginning: - PPPs are complex and boring topic. I apologize to those who read it up to here… #ppps #contractrenegotiations revista piauí Mauricio Portugal Ribeiro Lincoln Flor #projectfinance #infrastructure Sergei Samolis Schafik Collazo Filip Drapak Here is the link to the story: https://lnkd.in/e-_BW-4Q

*Macro Minute - Is the glass half empty or half full?* _May 15th, 2024 _ Since the last FOMC, *the external environment has improved considerably* (chart below) which is helping (a lot) the Brazilian markets to endure this more turbulent moment as of late. SPX and QQQ testing new all-time highs as I type (see Macro Minute – Shall we dance?) Although significantly underperforming, the external markets are acting as an important buffer *which implication is two fold.* *(1) Bullish: Better lucky than good –* it’s better to count on a more constructive environment until we have better idea on what’s going on. We can have more time for the dust to settle down. Looking forward to adding some risk. *(2) Bearish: Why not? –* Usually, asset stresses act as important guard-rails shielding the markets/economy from the political spirits. With this mechanism not working properly, political agents should simply go on. Why Not? Better stay at bay. It should get worse before it gets better. *What do you think will be the prevailing narrative in the short term?* Coming as no surprise, I’m with the #2… *You?*
