Infrastructure Minister Pedro Nuno Santos said Monday that the government will assess the extension of the price brake to new leases.
Pedro Nuno Santos’ position was conveyed during a hearing at the Budget and Finance Committee, in Parliament, in the context of the discussion in the specialty of the 2023 State Budget proposal, when he was questioned by the leader of the PCP’s parliamentary bank, Paula Santos, on possible measures to halt the price increase and respond to the increase in contract non-renewal.
“We are going to assess the extension of brakes to new contracts based on the prices of previous contracts. We are going to do this assessment as it is clearly an issue of concern to us”said the governor.
Pedro Nuno Santos thought so too: “As for the non-renewal of housing contracts and the news that went public this week, the non-renewal and price increases of very high new contracts have nothing to do with the 2% brake in place”🇧🇷
Previously, Pedro Nuno Santos was also asked by Liberal Initiative deputy Carlos Guimarães Pinto about the weight of the public offer the government plans to make in 2026.
The supervising minister emphasized that: “will be small, but certainly larger than [era] in 2015”, he justifies that even if there were financial and budgetary capacity to significantly increase the rate, he believes that there would be no “response capacity, even in the private sector, to the existing needs”.
“Today we already have many empty tenders in the residential area”said.
