Description
In addition to effects on manufacturing processes and distribution along the supply chain, nearshoring involves the need for financing and planning for commercial/tax structures to operate in the nearshore jurisdiction as cost centres. This implicates issues that involve guarantees, project bankability, environmental, social and governance (ESG), tax and import/export.
The panel will explore guidelines for a financial institution’s proper due diligence on potential borrowers and the appropriate contractual protections in finance documents, in addition to the main opportunities for landing operations in Mexico and other popular nearshore jurisdictions.
