Brazil’s President Michel Temer said on Wednesday state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro (PETR4.SA), a symbol of national sovereignty, would stay in public hands even as his government makes an aggressive privatization push.
Temer, speaking at a Reuters Newsmaker event in New York, also said that sprawling investigations that have led to corruption charges against scores of powerful figures – including him – show that Brazil’s governmental institutions are independent and working well.
