Last summer the Northwest Parkway signed a 99-year lease for $603 million with a joint venture of two foreign companies: Brisa Auto-Estradas de Portugal S.A., based in Lisbon, Portugal, and Companhia de Concessoes Rodoviarias, based in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

"The Northwest Parkway toll road this summer accepted a deal with two foreign companies from Portugal and Brazil to lease the road for 99 years, the state never placed a bid on the road," May said. "We feel that the state should take advantage of these opportunities if it is found to be in the best interest of Colorado taxpayers."

Brisa had as its priority setting his brand in the US and with this it achives that. As I posted below, there are potential 1.6 trillion in infrastructure in the US. Se posting about BRICUS below. Companies are positioning themselves for privatization opportunities.

Babcock & Brown Ltd., Australia's second-largest investment bank, bought 10 percent of Brisa in June.

While people are shunning business with the US (afraid of the USD plummeting) we are not afraid and are investing there.
