Change can happen to you. If you are one of those that think that a person cannot change… go to the ophthalmologist, you need a review. If you are one of those that think that YOU can’t change and grow… there is a bottom that says unsubscribe. Please click. Change can be fast. Change can also be permanent. Vinh Giang, a raising start in communication, says that “don’t be so attached to who you are in the present, that you don’t give the future version of you a chance”. And he is so right. We are attached to our habits, even if we know that they are bad. To our friends, even if they are toxic. To our city, even if we know there is no great future there. To our routines, Netflix series, and so many other things… You know the quote. It’s crazy to do exactly the same and waiting for different results. Change can happen to you, but you need to want it. Change can be fast, but you need to want it… fast. Change can be permanent, but you need to want it… permanent. No stupid and impossible diets here. There is so much I could tell you about these three concepts… change, fast and permanent. A way to start is clicking below. Price will go up in a few days. Enjoy.

That was the problem. Or at least, one of them. The project was Aguas Argentinas. At the time, it was the largest water concession in the world. You know… Argentinos tend to exaggerate… a little bit… specially in front of the referee… More than eight million customers. Thirty years. Serious...
Governments love competitive tension. They spend 18 months creating it. Market soundings. RFQs. RFPs. Best and Final Offers… or Optimization Phase in some places… Lawyers, financial models, technical advisers, probity officers… and 143 versions of a contract called FINAL. I love this game! Then they select the preferred bidder. Sign the contract. Open the champagne. Take a photograph wearing hard hats. Book holidays to Fiji. And kill the competition. Because the first auction is over. The...
Private investors love traffic risk. Especially when the government carries it. India wants to revive private highway investment. Its traditional BOT model had collapsed. Less than 5% of highway projects got someone signing a BOT contract. So the government changed the model. Traffic-risk sharing. Revenue support. Government buyback. Suddenly, private investors are interested again. Funny how that happens. Let’s be fair. Sharing traffic risk may be exactly the right decision. Traffic is...
