Daniel Wiener 29 February 2016 OECD Symposium on Governance of Infrastructure


§  Planned (and partially built) ring road of Greater São Paulo, Brazil §  Biggest road project in Brazil, with a length of 177 km à USD 8.5bn §  1.7bn hours per year are currently lost due to traffic jams §  Main objectives: Reduce traffic jams; improve transportation efficiency;

mitigate accidents involving dangerous materials; improve quality of life; control and prevent pollution

§  Construction slowdown, project delays and further costs §  Government is considering re-opening the bidding process §  Decreased economic return of the project §  Further economic development in the region is at stake §  With the money lost to corruption 124% more

roads and 525% more railways could have been built during Brazil’s major infrastructure program “PAC”

E.g. Mario Covas Ring Road - São Paulo

èCorruption scandal at state oil company Petrobras involved the country's biggest infrastructure companies and impacted the

development of projects
