The Jair Bolsonaro administration wants to allow foreign companies to bid for infrastructure projects and become government suppliers without the need for a Brazilian subsidiary. It will likely introduce a new measure soon.

The Ministry of Economy thinks the measure will ease the participation of international groups in infrastructure works – such as on highways, railways, and airports.

Today, the law requires a Brazilian company or even an individual to represent the foreign company in the bidding process legally. Now, a normative statement is being prepared to allow outside groups to participate directly.
