    Abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the infrastructure segment, investments 
  relative to GDP and major competitiveness indicators, based on published data 
  on the 2001-2010 period. Lastly, analyses of segments showing higher potential 
  for investments and returns in the 2011-2017 period are carried out. Initially, 
  it was made a survey on the specialized literature followed by a segment valuation 
  and opportunities for the 2011-2017 period. The qualitative method was used 
  and analyses were conducted on information available in databases. The analyses 
  carried out indicate a great need for improvements in the segments of electric 
  power, telecommunications, road, rail and air transportation, harbours, waterways 
  and sewage systems in a model where private investment offers substantial return 
  and become more attractive than public investment.
