RS Prevention and Reconstruction Fund
On the agenda in Porto Alegre, on July 30th, minister Rui Costa guaranteed the carrying out of works with federal resources to quickly carry out studies and interventions to prevent the tragedy of the floods in RS it happens again.
“The Federal Government will create a fund where all these resources will be deposited, which will remain outside the Union Budget, that is, they will be formally executed. Whoever is in charge of the work, whether municipality, consortium or state, will receive payment according to the execution. Therefore, we will have guaranteed resources in the fund and it will not be due to lack of resources that the work will not be carried out quickly”, announced Rui Costa.
According to the minister, the main justification for creating the fund is the fact that it does not require new approvals to include the values of the works in the annual budget. “By the end of the year, everything that was published, with a provisional measure, we will deposit in this fund, so that new legal measures are not necessary. Most of these works are large, so they will not be done in four or six months. These are complex works with a series of situations, so it is necessary to have this money set aside, in other words, it has the security of the resource and the necessary agility”, he explained.
