Brazil Concession of Highways and Railroads Is No Privatization

 "In a concession, the private sector makes the investment, which is important. But it gets a return on the capital invested. And then the structure returns to the state. It remains property of the country. It is a happy model that both foreign and Brazilian capital can work with." according to Eike Batista.  

The Logistics Investment Program will concede 7,500 kilometers of highways and 10,000 kilometers of railroads.
