Our reading
Fewer loss-making companies inside the State = less spending to finance (R1 · lowers country risk) and more private capital operating real logistics: a modernized Belgrano Cargas lowers the export cost of the north and agriculture, and feeds the Greater Rosario ports (R5 · better export netback). thesis
Where it lands, province by province1
Santa Fe The Belgrano Cargas feeds the Greater Rosario ports; a private concession that modernizes it lowers the logistics cost of agro-exports (it complements the Waterway). favorable better export netback thesis
