Brochure More information from http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/2139276/ Country Commerce Brazil Description: Petróleo Brasileiro (Petrobras, the state-controlled oil company) is heavily indebted, and its capacity to raise additional financing has been hurt by mismanagement and a huge corruption scandal. In February 2015 Moody's, the US-based ratings agency, lowered Petrobras's bond ratings to junk status. The company faces lawsuits in the US by investors, and a class action suit may go to trial as soon as February 2016. Government policies controlling fuel prices as a means of dampening inflation, especially in the run-up to the October 2014 presidential elections, had a strong negative impact on Petrobras's profitability. The corruption scandal and a sharp decline in earnings resulted in a net loss for the company of US$6.96bn in 2014. In July 2015 the government announced a job preservation plan (Plano de Preservação do Emprego). The scheme allows companies in economic distress to cut workers' salaries and work hours by 30%, for up to one year, through end-2016. The government will complement salaries, making up half of the loss, up to R900.84 per month, or 65% of the maximum unemployment benefit. Companies cannot dismiss workers while partaking in the plan.
