Ecorodovias September traffic up 0.6% on calendar effect; regional divergences persist

Ecorodovias reported 65 million vehicles on its highways in September, a 0.6% year-on-year increase, attributed to the calendar shift of the September 7 holiday. Traffic growth was led by Ecovias Norte Minas (+17.6%) and Ecovias Minas Goiás (+7.9%), while Ecovias Leste Paulista contracted 7.6%, indicating regional economic divergence. The modest overall growth suggests stable but unspectacular economic activity in Brazil's concession corridors.
