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.
