Braskem Presses on with Petrochemicals Growth Plans
Braskem, the heavily indebted Brazilian petrochemical giant seeking an extrajudicial recovery, is continuing its push to increase production even as prices fall in the wake of the peace deal between the U.S. and Iran.
Despite significant debt and an out-of-court restructuring process, the company is not abandoning its expansion plans. The decline in petrochemical prices following the normalization of relations between the U.S. and Iran has not stopped Braskem.
Context
The U.S.-Iran agreement led to lower geopolitical risks and, consequently, a drop in oil and petrochemical prices. However, Braskem is betting on long-term demand growth and continues to invest in production.
