The executive secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Dario Durigan, stated this Monday, 27th, that the new line of credit for larger companies in Rio Grande do Sul involves a “large mobilization” of resources and should be announced this week by vice-president and minister Geraldo Alckmin.
“This week, Vice President Alckmin is going to Rio Grande do Sul and will make the announcement to those companies, industrialists, farmers, that are larger. We provide resources to serve small and medium-sized businesses, whether in rural areas, commerce or industry. This week we will take another step, for the largest, with a large mobilization of resources, also overcoming the bureaucratic steps so that Minister Alckmin can announce this new line of credit in Rio Grande do Sul”, said Durigan during a debate session on the catastrophe in Rio. Grande do Sul held in the Senate plenary.
This Monday, the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, said that he would discuss the issue with Alckmin when he arrived at the department’s headquarters in Brasília. As shown by the Broadcast (Grupo Estado’s real-time news system), the federal government is preparing to announce a line of credit aimed at large companies affected by the rain tragedy in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. At the end of last week, the information was that the number, still being finalized, could exceed R$10 billion.
In a speech in the Senate plenary, Durigan recalled the measures already taken by the federal government to serve Rio Grande do Sul, including the amounts paid last Friday, the 24th, to municipalities, as the government was demanded during the March of Mayors held last week, said the secretary.
“An additional installment equivalent to the municipalities’ participation fund was paid to the municipalities on Friday, we promptly complied, as this request was made at the mayors’ march”, said the number 2 of the Department led by Haddad.
The secretary also stated that the measures developed for the State have “very well defined fiscal repercussions” and that the Executive will continue to be responsible for the Union budget without ceasing to serve the people of Rio Grande do Sul.
Durigan, finally, also spoke about the Ecological Transformation Plan in the context of the climate tragedy, and endorsed the Treasury’s chorus for taxing the richest to finance the response to climate change.
“So it is necessary to look at our discussion at the G20, of taxation of the richest, in order to be able to finance, from a global point of view, the response to climate change, hunger, climate-related displacement, it is necessary to look at Brazil, the We are living this reality. We need to look at the problem head on and provide the answers that are in our hands”, concluded the secretary.
