The 13th Annual IDB Breakfast
April 08, 2016 | Nassau, The Bahamas

In response, investors are rethinking their regional allocations, and sovereign borrowers are turning to innovative structures and strategies to approach the capital markets.

The 11th Cumbre Financiera Mexicana
February 25, 2016 | Mexico City, Mexico
Returning to Mexico for the 11th consecutive edition of Cumbre Financiera Mexicana, LatinFinance once again gathered Mexico’s key financial market stakeholders to navigate the turbulence and uncertainty that have begun to eclipse the country, the region, and the emerging markets in 2016. With a dramatic fall in both oil prices and the peso, a collapse in global market sentiment and an increasingly complex global economic environment, a damper has been put on expectations for Mexico’s economy. Tightening fiscal policy is weighing heavy on the real economy, dampening business sentiment and casting a shadow over financial markets. While few doubt Mexico’s potential, the question is what needs to happen for the country to fulfill it? In this context, we took a step back to look at the Mexican economy in the regional context, and to ask what needs to be done to create the momentum that will ultimately have a positive impact on growth and investment, on capital flows and funding, and on the development of a more competitive corporate landscape.
