DF governor plans investment agency to attract money to Brasília
Federal District Governor Celina Leão wants to create an investment agency to attract money to Brasília.
The initiative, coordinated by the Tourism Secretariat, would connect public authorities with private investors from Brazil and abroad.
The plan comes amid a budget shortfall and a crisis at the Bank of Brasília, known as BRB.
The district also faces the risk of losing money from the Constitutional Fund, which mainly pays for health and security services.
The proposed agency would identify economic opportunities and run strategic programs through a five-stage process.
Leão's government wants to put the plan into practice this year, but the proposal is still being developed.
