Während der anhaltende Anstieg der Entwaldung in der ersten Jahreshälfte angesichts der alles überlagernden Corona-Krise kaum registriert wurde, führen alarmierende Nachrichten über Brände im Amazonasgebiet und dem Pantanal der brasilianischen Öffentlichkeit nun wieder schonungslos die Dringlichkeit der Umweltproblematik vor Augen. Auch auf dem internationalen Parkett – insbesondere im Hinblick auf das EU-Mercosul-Handelsabkommen, aber selbst im US-Präsidentschaftswahlkampf – spielt der Erhalt des brasilianischen Regenwalds eine Rolle.

Die Regierungsmaßnahmen verschaffen den Unternehmen zwar kurzfristig Erleichterung in der Corona-Krise. Doch im Lieferkettenmanagement steigen die Herausforderungen aufgrund der drastischen Abwertung und hohen Volatilität des brasilianischen Reals. Zudem drohen je nach Sektor strukturelle Veränderungen in lokalen Zuliefer- und Abnehmerbranchen. In jedem Fall gilt: Das Brennglas Coronakrise zwingt Unternehmen in Brasilien zum Umdenken. Trotzdem: Um die Wirtschaft zu stabilisieren, setzt Wirtschaftsminister Paulo Guedes vor allem auf den Erhalt von Arbeitsplätzen. Das erkennen die Unternehmen an.

Economic Outlook September 2020
Brazil: there are lingering uncertainties surrounding the fiscal risk. Primary budget deficits of 11.7% of GDP in 2020 and 2.5% of GDP in 2021. Next year's deficit includes higher social spending, partially offset by tax increases. Economic activity continues to recover from the sharp declines registered earlier in the pandemic. GDP forecasts at -4.5% for 2020 and +3.5% for 2021.

Excellent discussion of goals and mechanisms of the the New Basic Sanitation Law designed to attract foreign investment to water supply and sewage projects in Brazil. There is given an insight on how the federal government expects to, with market liberalization regulation and scale-up incentives, attract new market players to bridge the US$150 billion investment gap in water and sewage services in the country. Speakers gave their state of the art information on the matter, such as the Head of Public-Private Partnerships Department at BNDES, a Specialist from LAV-Associate Company Veirano Advogados for Infrastructure & Projects practice and the Director of AEGEA Saneamento e Participações S.A, a Brazilian sanitation company controlled by the Equipav Group with business in 47 municipalities and nine states across Brazil. The company serves as a sanitation concessionaire, operating across the whole water management value chain —supply and wastewater disposal and treatment—and serving more than 3.5 million people.

Die Herausforderung der Bewertung von Vermögenswerten
Eine interessante Betrachtung zu M&A in Lateinamerika mit Fokus auf Brasilien beschreibt LAV-Präsidiumsmitglied Anneliese Moritz. Allgemein bekannt ist, dass Krisen Entscheidungen manchmal verzögern, aber gleichzeitig bringen sie auch Chancen mit sich. So verzeichnete Brasilien 2019 mehr M&A-Transaktionen als jedes anderes lateinamerikanischen Land – nämlich insgesamt 1.231 Deals, Tendenz steigend. Auch zu Beginn 2020 hielt Brasilien die Spitzenposition – im Februar 2020 führte Brasilien mit den weitaus meisten Transaktionen (156) in Lateinamerika, gefolgt von Mexiko (42), Chile (26), Argentinien (17), Peru (16) und Kolumbien (14). Vor allem in Hinblick auf den Fall des brasilianischen Real (BRL) um mehr als 30% seit Anfang des Jahres im Verhältnis zum US-Dollar und den Fall des brasilianischen Börsen Index Ibovespa um derzeit 19% im Vergleich zu Januar, könnte sich eine Investition in den brasilianischen Distressed Assets Markt als aussichtsreich erweisen.

Live discussion on June 23rd, 2021
A conversation with Rodrigo Azevedo, Founding Partner of Ibiúna Investimentos

Having investments that are not penalized by momentary fluctuations can be a solution to face uncertain scenarios. Macro funds are a good alternative because, based on economic projections, they offer assets in the portfolio that are now less valued and tend to yield later.

Despite the challenging context of the pandemic, the economy has retracted less than expected according to some indicators. The preview of GDP in the first quarter indicates high, the expectation of reforms in Congress signals more security and the generation of formal jobs has grown, despite unemployment still high.

Participate in our Macro Funds webinar to learn about market prospects and be informed to anticipate these fluctuations.

Speakers: Rodrigo Azevedo,  Founding Partner at Ibiúna Investimentos
