Petrobras still Latam's top company but fell to second-worst performer because of corruption losses
Brazil's state oil giant Petrobras remains Latin America's top company in revenues, but has lost its position as the profit leader after posting record losses last year due to a growing corruption scandal and administrative inefficiencies, according to a new ranking of the region's 500 largest companies from digital publication Latinvex.

May 13th, 2015 - 12:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The most expensive World Cup stadium — located in the capital, Brasilia, and with a price tag of $550 million — is being used as a parking lot for buses.
The stadium in Cuiaba — which cost some $215 million to build — has made news repeatedly: first for being closed down because of faulty construction, and then recently for the homeless people squatting in its unused locker rooms.
[...]
The stadium in Natal is trying to make money by hosting weddings and kids’ parties — with little luck. The company that owns it is putting it up for sale; it’s had cash flow problems after being implicated in the state oil scandal in Brazil.
And the much touted Arena da Amazonia in Manaus, which costs $233,000 a month to run, also is being sold to the private sector — even though it was built primarily with public funds.

May 13th, 2015 - 02:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, thought not. The Chavista Goons are withholding the real facts and figures, but the reality can't be denied to the workers.
The word is that oil unions might rebel against the Chavistas, (politically speaking! ).

Interest rates up, inflation up, poverty up, corruption of the scale.
Things like production, exports etc. down.
Explain how it is all going to rat shit over there?

They complain about corruption.
They complain about corruption being dealt with.
They even complain about Petrobras getting a recognition.
They will complain until Petrobras is in private hands.
Let them cry ther eyeballs out. Petrobras IS the people, in good and in bad.
Like PDVSA Stevie? Now its we are ll PBR?

@12 Stevie,
May 14th, 2015 - 10:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nowhere have I said that PB has to go back to being partially privatized, but since you mentioned it, allow me to educate you on the recent history of this company : In 2001, when it was 100% State-owned, its capital was opened to all workers, who enthusiastically invested part of their retirement funds in the company ; from then on, 49 % State owned and 51% in the hands of millions of workers, the company, under relatively competent management, went on to a market value of 700 billion reais (in 2005), with little outstanding debt. Lula, who became president in 2003, through a disgusting accounting gimmick in 2007, whereby the company didn't get one cent, he made the federal government main shareholder again, screwing millions of workers and started the “Lava-jato” scheme.....the company market value is now 90 billion reais, which means that shareholders, the government AND 'the people'...It lost 610 billion, and has a virtually unpayable debt....and all you have to say is people are pissed-off just because it is not privatized.....It does not need to be privatized, it needs to be run competently and not used politically....why the hell do you insist on commenting on what you know very little about ? If you love the brasshole so much, and want to sound as if you support his ignorance, invite him to spend a few days with you in Uruguay.
Screw your market values. Simple as that.

@ 17 Breakdowns R Us
May 15th, 2015 - 12:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh, dear!
Do you realise that little rant used to come out just before your last breakdown?
Not too long to go now by the look of it.
Because you do not live in Uruguay, let me give you the latest on OSE (the nationwide water providers for those who do not know).
We in the Maldonado area have suffered major water main failures (no water for FOUR days) on two occasions in the last six months and another one happened on Tuesday and flooded the village.
A major “equipment failure” whatever that was, we were not told, FOUR days AGAIN just before the last season started.
BUT, the BEST one of all: the stupid bastard who runs OSE (a Broad Fraud crook) POISONED the entire area with what we were told was an algae bloom from Laguna De Sauce AND we now find out that the run-off from farmland that No Money Pepe always claims is the most natural, chemical free country in SA has just exceeded the international poison level by an order of magnitude.
”It's about making sure we all get access to what de (SIC) need.“
So YOU need poisoning then? Be my guest: oh, you DON'T live here do you?
It is so bad that Vasquez has just signed a ”Presidential Decree” that OSE CANNOT issue bills for the period from 16th April UNTIL THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED (whenever that will be no-one knows).
That, you clown, is the result of stupid political bastards in charge of important supplies.
I bet your “brain” just boils with all the injustices you constantly blather on about whilst the rest of us have to cope with the reality.
I spent UYU$ 1250 last month on bottled water: where is your sympathy for the 40% of Uruguayo who only earn UYU$ 1400 (less tax) a month?
I sincerely hope your next breakdown is permanent, and the sooner the better, you despicable toad.
