Brazil: Government Appoints Commission To Privatize Eletrobras

A special congressional committee has been formed to analyze federal bill PL 9463/18, which proposed the privatization of Brazil‘s state-owned energy company, Eletrobras. The commission, which was set up after Senate-imposed Brazilian President Michel Temer was unable to secure enough votes to implement pension reforms, is composed of 35 members of Congress and will include an equal number of substitute members.
