EM Capital Flows and the Macro Challenge

A high-level panel of policymakers, economists and investors will discuss the challenges facing Latin America’s economies and markets given the threat of rising global trade protectionism, stubbornly high interest rates and a backdrop of persistently weak growth across the region. The discussion will also touch on the recent developments in the region and internationally that could have implications both for investment dynamics, including for sovereign debt, as well as for the longer-term economic trajectory and prospects for the region’s sustainable development.

Mexico and the New Investment Horizon

Mexico’s economy has long been a potential winner in the broader global realignment of trade and supply chains.

This panel of executives, officials and investors will weigh the forces playing both for and against the economy’s upward trajectory.
