"When the winning bid for the privatisation of Guarulhos, São Paulo’s main international airport, was read out on February 6th, the crowd at the city’s stock exchange gasped. At 16.2 billion reais ($9.4 billion), it was nearly 4 billion reais more than the second-highest bid, and 12.8 billion reais above the government-specified minimum. On offer was 51% of a public-private partnership with Infraero, Brazil’s lumbering state-owned operator." (Quoted from article)
