Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Ms. Borges, I was going through the cost-benefit analysis you have done, and I see that you have assumed a discount rate of 8%. With a 1% change, there is quite a bit of change. You can achieve a lot if you go to 7%, or if you go to 10%.

So what is the discount rate you foresee in today's market, and how would it impact the cost-benefit analysis that we have?
