Neue Zurcher Zeitung – Switzerland; Nov 14, 2001

The Brazilian government yesterday launched a plan to open 3,000 small post offices throughout the country by the end of 2003. According to communications minister, Pimenta da Veiga, these post offices will have an average of two staff, as a result of which, 6,000 jobs will be created over the next two years.

The new post offices will be opened in shopping centres and commercial areas and will offer the same services as larger offices. Each post office will require an investment of R$20,000, which will be recovered in 15 months, according to Mr da Veiga. The minister also said that with the new openings, there will be one post office for every 17,000 people in Brazil, compared with one for every 20,000 at present.
