Brazil's government aims to raise $2 billion in financing with new Eco Invest auction

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.

Customs warehouses are booming as U.S. businesses turn to a 'hope and prayer' strategy of waiting out the tariff war

Parking goods is a last resort—and it's not cheap.

Customs warehouses are experiencing a surge in business due to the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, as companies use these facilities to store goods and delay paying tariffs, hoping for a resolution or reduction in tariffs. The strategy, often referred to as "hope and prayer," involves storing products in customs warehouses for up to five years without paying duties, allowing businesses to wait out potential changes in trade policy. This approach has led to increased demand for customs brokerage services and has benefited companies like Amazon, which uses these warehouses to manage inventory and mitigate the impact of tariffs. However, the effectiveness of this strategy depends on the duration of the trade war and future trade policies, leaving businesses in a state of uncertainty.
