The government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expects to raise $2 billion in financing for sustainable projects through a new auction to be announced on Monday as part of the Eco Invest Brazil program, focusing on initiatives to recover degraded pastures. The new auction is part of the "blended finance" line of the Eco Invest program, which combines public and private capital to reduce financing costs and stimulate sustainable initiatives in the private sector, while also reducing the risk of exposure to exchange rates. Although the exact value cannot be disclosed in order not to hinder competition among financial institutions, the auction is expected to provide around $1 billion in catalytic capital from the Climate Fund, with a requirement for leverage of at least one and a half times, the secretary said.
Brazil's government is planning to raise approximately 2.5 billion reais ($487 million) through a bond issuance aimed at funding sustainable and green projects, as reported on Yahoo News on March 22, 2023. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the country's commitment to environmental sustainability and combat climate change. The bonds, which will be issued by the Brazilian National Treasury, are designed to attract investors interested in supporting eco-friendly initiatives. The move reflects Brazil's ongoing efforts to integrate environmental considerations into its financial strategies and to position itself as a leader in sustainable development in Latin America.
