Brazil is sketching out a plan to provide mid-sized companies with better access to the country’s capital markets, part of an effort by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to bolster growth.
The goal is to make it easier for companies to tap debt or equity markets, according to Marcos Pinto, secretary for economic reforms. The ideas, which are still being hashed out, include lowering fees associated with issuances and simplifying audit requirements, he said in an interview.
