The head of Brazil’s state-run oil giant Petrobras, Magda Chambriard, has been sworn in as market concerns of increased government intervention in the company mount. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva — who nominated Chambriard — attended the ceremony Wednesday at a Petrobras research center in Rio de Janeiro.

Such developments have contributed to worry that the scope or tolerance for graft may return. But Rafael Schiozer, a finance professor at the Getulio Vargas Foundation, a university and think tank, said such concern about Petrobras is unwarranted. At the event on Wednesday, Lula said he wants the company to be profitable — and that profits are a boon for investments and public spending across Brazil.

“Prates clearly had a philosophy of creating value for shareholders as the company’s primary objective,” said Schiozer, adding that Chambriard appears to give greater weight to the company’s political role.
