"Brazil today needs a lot of investment in terms of mobility. There has been a boom in vehicle sales as the population has increased purchasing power. People with lower incomes are now buying cars and so the cities are now very congested. Consequently there is a great necessity to invest in mass transportation. With respect to logistics there is a phenomenon that we call "the Brazil Cost" which relates to the high logistical costs for the products that we export. Brazil is a large commodity exporter and the lack of suitable infrastructure affects the final product costs and as a result the actual producers receive less money. We need to be much more efficient in order to be competitive on the international market. We need a lot of investment in railways, highways, ports and airports, etc", says Wagner Colombini Martins.
