BRAZIL: Government Preparing Additional Oil Auction To Raise Revenue

Apr-10 14:00
  • Reuters reports that the government is preparing an extra auction of stakes in off-shore oil areas to raise additional revenue amid falling oil prices and tariff uncertainty, according to sources familiar with the matter. The sources said that the auction was seen as a way to offset potential revenue shortfalls due to factors beyond the government's control.
  • The auction could be held as soon as September according to one source, with a draft bill sent to Congress shortly, which is expected to approve the measure.
