The National Bank for
Economic and Social Development (BNDES) of Brazil announced on Tuesday
that funding for 25 projects by companies investigated by its own
“Operation Car Wash” (“Lava Jato”), including some in Angola and
Mozambique, have been suspended since May.
The 25 projects are worth in total
US$7,036 billion (EUR6,361 billion euros), of which US$2.3 billion
(EUR2,079 billion) has already been paid out, according to a BNDES
statement.
At stake in Angola are projects at the
Capanda Polo Agroindustrial, the Lauca (AH Lauca) hydroelectric project,
the embankment of Cambambe and the second central Cambambe dam, a total
investment of US$808.8 million (EUR731 million). In Mozambique, funding
for the US$320 million (EUR289.3 million) Moamba Major dam has been put
on hold.
Finance was also cancelled for two
projects in Argentina, one in Cuba, one in Ghana, one in Guatemala, one
in Honduras, seven in the Dominican Republic and seven in Venezuela.
BNDES’s website declares it to be one of the world’s largest development
banks.
The statement says the suspension covers
“financing contracted to the export of engineering services of
Odebrecht, OAS, Queiroz Galvão, Camargo Corrêa and Andrade Gutierrez”.
The five contractors are being investigated in connection with
corruption at the Petrobras state oil company.
The development bank announced a
“reassessment of the current loan portfolio, consisting of 47 projects
in various stages of completion (contracted, approved, under analysis
and consultation)”, including the 25 suspended.
BNDES financing to foreign
infrastructure projects has been embroiled in controversy involving
suspicions of overpricing and favouritism.
The evaluation of projects will take
into account the stage of progress, the level of other lenders’ funds
and the impact of new financing on exposure and risk to BNDES in each
country, according to the BNDES.
The bank pointed out that “there is no
record of default of BNDES loans”, and new procedures for financing the
export of engineering and construction services were announced.
“The new criteria were defined taking
into account consultations between the BNDES and the Attorney General’s
Office (AGU) and other organs of the government’s support system for
exports as well as the recommendations made by the Court of Auditors
(TCU),” the bank said.
