Sustainable Finance

Eco Invest Brasil, part of Novo Brasil, was created to boost sustainable private investment and attract foreign capital to long-term projects by offering instruments that protect against exchange rate volatility. Through innovative financial mechanisms, the program facilitates strategic projects in the green industry, biome restoration, infrastructure to address the effects of climate change, and technological innovation for ecological transformation.

Security and predictability for investors against exchange rate fluctuations

Historically, exchange rate volatility and the lack of structured projects have been among the main challenges for Brazil in attracting foreign investment in long-term ventures. To minimize this barrier, Eco Invest Brasil offers credit lines to mitigate exchange rate risks and facilitate project development, ensuring predictability and risk reduction for long-term investments in the country. Additionally, the program offers credit lines with public funds under attractive terms to leverage private, domestic, and international investments. The main sectors benefiting from this are:

• Energy transition – Expansion of biofuel and renewable energy production, particularly the manufacturing of equipment related to these sectors.
• Bioeconomy – Restoration of degraded pastures, sustainable agriculture and livestock production, and research, development, and innovation (R&D&I) activities for the bioeconomy.
• Circular economy – Infrastructure for water and wastewater services, elimination of landfills, reverse logistics, and other solutions for the circularity of goods production and consumption.
• Green infrastructure and adaptation – Investments that promote the resilience of the economy and communities in the face of climate change and the expansion of low-carbon infrastructure.
