Incorporating the Financing and Investing in Agribusiness and Bio-Fuels Seminar
Intercontinental Hotel Buenos Aires, Argentina
June 18-19, 2008
Argentina has seen a strong recovery for five consecutive years – growing 8.7 percent in 2007 – favored by a rise in domestic consumption, high commodity prices and the strong performance of the automobile sector and steel industries. However, a less favorable external environment and with structural limitations of the domestic economy are likely to weigh on growth prospects in the months ahead.
The LatinFinance Cumbre Financiera Argentina remains the only international investment and capital markets forum for Argentina. Its objective is simple: to bring together the global and local investors with Argentina’s leading corporate leaders, blue-chip and tier II issuers, and senior government figures to discuss how the new administration in combination with corporate and financial Argentina can sustain impressive fast and broad-based GDP growth, and maintain the rise of Argentina’s financial profile.
