UBS Patron’s Webinar: Latin America in a new world (February 7, 2024)

7. fevereiro @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Dear Members, Partners and Friends,

We are cordially inviting you to our traditional financial outlook webinar “Latin America in a new world”, offered by our patron UBS, on February 7, 2024, at 5.00-6.00 pm (Swiss time), which will focus on these questions and more.

  • The world is experiencing major change in the realm of technology and geopolitics.
  • Latin America is exposed to a combination of opportunities and risks in this context.
  • On the one hand, the region attracts for its ability to supply commodities, contribute to the energy transition, and collaborate in the reorganization of global supply chains.
  • On the other hand, the region exhibits domestic challenges in terms of poor quality of institutions and high levels of violence, and does not seem to be at the forefront of the technological revolution.
  • What implications does this have for the economic and investment outlook in the region?
