Eletrobras shares registered a jump of 11% for ON assets this Tuesday afternoon (23), becoming worth R$ 32.09 and a rise of 10.23% for PNA shares, which are worth R$ 32.24.
This happened after the Reuters disseminate the news that President Jair Bolsonaro's team is working to publish today, in an extra edition of the DOU (Official Gazette of the Union), an MP (Provisional Measure) associated with his plans to privatize the company.
According to sources linked to Reuters, the MP, which should allow the BNDES (National Development Bank) to begin studies on the company's privatization, aims to “give a signal” to the market about Bolsonaro's commitment to privatization.
The content of the provisional measure will be similar to that of a PL (bill) on the topic sent by the government in 2019, but which is stalled in the Chamber due to political resistance.
