In contrast, the infrastructure bottleneck due to state intervention lack and economic restructuring of 1980-1990s provided an opportunity for the new cycle of infrastructure investments since 2000s, boosted by the macroeconomic fundamentals consolidation with Plano Real and Brazilian Economic Growth Acceleration (PAC). However, there is an unfavorable environment for domestic and foreign private investment in infrastructure because of Brazilian regulatory uncertainties and low level of public investments.
