Committee(s)

Latin American Regional Forum (Lead)

Description

Over the past decades, to a greater or lesser extent, countries all over the world have been dealing with political swings from far left to far right, one way and another. Latin America is not an exception, but perhaps different from more developed countries, Latin American emerging economies tend to suffer more disruption from these political changes. This panel will analyse some of the main recent political changes in the region, and what impact such changes have had, or are expected to have, in direct foreign investment and in doing business in the region.
