Description

Latin American countries have seen a sustained increase of investments from countries who traditionally were not focused on the region. Over the last decade, China has had prominence in new investments in several industries and more recently, we have seen a surge of investments from Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. This panel will explore the main interests of investors from these jurisdictions and their short and long-term view of investment prospects, as well as principal considerations for choosing certain host jurisdictions over the others.
