Overview

  • The round dedicates funding exclusively to the Amazon to support bioeconomy projects, sustainable tourism and enabling green infrastructure.
  • Winning financial institutions will borrow from the National Treasury at 1% a year and must mobilize at least four times that amount in private capital, with a minimum 60% coming from foreign investors.
  • A new catalytic incentive equal to 20% of the mobilized value will finance technical assistance, capacity building and higher‑risk initiatives focused on smaller producers and local actors.
  • The Inter-American Development Bank will provide a US$3.4 billion currency‑hedge facility, with operations expected to begin in the first half of 2026.
  • Tender documentation will be published in the coming days, proposals are due in early 2026 and results are planned for later in 2026, building on more than R$75 billion mobilized in prior rounds.
