The survey was released by the TCE this Thursday (25). The document, which can be accessed on the court’s website, shows that, currently, there are R$5.9 billion in contracts whose works have been halted
Of this amount, the state and municipalities have already paid R$1.8 billion for the buildings that were abandoned. This corresponds to 31% of the total. The data refers to 2023. The value of frozen contracts is 8% lower than that of 2022, when they were R$7.4 billion.
Of the 1,504 contracts without completion, 462 were declared officially suspended by the managers responsible for the works themselves. Another 1,042 show signs of abandonment.
The areas that concentrate the largest volume of abandoned works are the following:
- Urban mobility: 23.4% of total contracts;
- Water supply services: 11.1%;
- Dams: 8.6%.
Also according to the TCE, at the state level, the abandoned works that received the most money are those on the North-South and East-West BRT corridors, under the responsibility of the Pernambuco Department of Urban Development and Housing.
