Pezco

What Pezco does

Pezco Economic & Financial Analysis is a privately held Brazilian economic and financial advisory firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in São Paulo. The firm provides consulting services organized around four competencies: Advanced Analytics (econometrics, quantitative methods, mathematical modeling, and non-parametric efficiency analysis), Law and Economics (judicial support, antitrust, and concentration-act analysis), Regulation (tariff review, regulatory policy, and sectoral regulatory studies for infrastructure, financial markets, and pharmaceuticals), and Market Design (concessions, public-private partnerships, pricing strategies, and auction design). Its practice targets Brazilian infrastructure sectors — sanitation, transportation, telecoms, energy, and urban management — as well as consumer goods, services, and the social sector, with engagements centered on concession structuring, PPP modeling, tariff review, and sectoral research.

The firm monetizes primarily through professional services engagements with enterprise clients and government entities, including Brazilian federal agencies, municipalities, and infrastructure companies. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Pezco has also built a recurring content and educational layer — Opinião Pezco, Semana em Perspectiva, Infra Watch, Cenário Pezco, Análises e Estudos, Projeções, and the REGULASAN course on sanitation regulation — published in Portuguese and English via its website and social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook). The firm has a documented strategic partnership with the World Bank on a 'Lighting Brazilian Cities' study, lending institutional credibility. Forecast accuracy has placed Pezco Top 5 in Banco Central do Brasil's medium-term exchange rate ranking and Top 10 in its overall market expectation survey. With 11–50 employees and a single São Paulo office, Pezco operates as a boutique advisory practice with no disclosed external funding or ownership changes.
