Mining tenders are a long-term financing instrument that affects not just a sector, but also the country's macroeconomic balances. Such large-scale resource tenders strengthen companies' capital structures while triggering activity in the banking sector's credit volume and private sector bond markets. In particular, bringing strategic mines into operation can reduce pressure on the current account deficit, contributing to the stability of the currency.
