If a new Brazilian plan to generate $64 billion in public and private-sector infrastructure spending is to succeed, the government must cut red tape that delays and complicates project financing, a senior executive at engineering and industrial conglomerate Odebrecht SA said. Complex bank financing regulations for engineering projects, burdensome taxes and insufficient guarantee structures that impeded earlier infrastructure programs remain unresolved, sparking doubts over the new plan, Drehmer said in a Wednesday interview.
