Abstract

The implementation of large mining projects in the Amazon can boost the economy and local development by generating jobs and income, on the other hand aggravating social problems. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the effects generated in the financial collection of the municipality of Juruti-PA from the implementation in 2009 of a large bauxite generation project in the municipality by the mining company Alcoa. For this, as a methodology for developing the work, consultation of the municipal collection on the transparency portal of the municipal government of Juruti-PA and CFEM mineral collection data on the electronic site of the ANM. Starting from the premise that the transfers of the mineral sector are of a finite nature, either due to the depletion of the deposit or the stoppage due to the price of commodities that are not under the control of the mining company. With that, analyzed in this study the composition of municipal collection in the period from 2015 to 2022, in which it presented a large financial contribution to the municipality linked to the mineral sector, more than R$ 462.8 million reais, which represented about 32.49% of the total collection to the municipality, refers to the observation that the paralysis of transfers in the short term would cause serious damage to the municipal economy, affecting, for example, the generation of jobs and income of the population. Suggesting that the municipality of Juruti-PA needs to compensate the application of the resource originating from the mineral sector, especially the resources collected by CFEM in the form of economic diversification, in order to make the municipality a sustainable economic growth in the medium and long term.
