The advisor of Valec Operations Superintendence, Alex Trevizan, said that the formula which will give the private sector guarantees for investments on railways concessions is close to a resolution. According to him, this mechanism gives “strength” to the program and will attract companies to the railways projects competition.
“I believe that 70% of the warranty system is ready”, he said, after having participated on the Expansion of the Railway Modal on the 9th Logistics and Transport Meeting in São Paulo.
The trustee which is being discussed shall be the connection between the railway concessionaire and the financial institution which shall detain R$ 15 billion in exchequer bill destined to cover payments to the investor in case Valec does not comply with the payments. Investors demand a mechanism which shoves away the political risks of Valec State Company which will be responsible for most of the dealers’ income.
Trevizan is not sure if the Railway of Integration Central West (Fico) concession will be granted this year. The sector shall connect the districts of Campinorte (Goiás) and Lucas do Rio Verde (Mato Grosso). According to him, the National Agency of Land Transportation (ANTT – Agência Nacional de Transportes Terrestres) is doing the last adjustments to publish the official announcement, but is still seeking for gaining the private enterprise trust on the new railway modal. “The market still needs to understand the model and feel safe”, he said.
However, he has affirmed that there are already some proponents. “There are some international and national interested ones”, he said, without giving details.
