Board members approve Eletrobras sale

Brazil's Eletrobras' board members approved the sale of the state-owned utility company.

The sale is now only pending a second round of approval from the federal audit court (TCU), about reducing the country's share of the company from around 60pc to less than 45pc. The TCU approved the utility sale in the first, most complex, round on 15 February.

Former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the most prominent opposition party PT filed an injunction in the supreme court to stop the sale, based on a claim that the TCU did not analyze all the documents sent by the lower house of Congress.

Market participants assess the sale needs to happen during the first semester of the year, otherwise the end-of-year electoral run will overpower the political landscape, leaving the deal for the next administration.
