Latin American Regional Forum (Lead)

Description

Following the great turn-out in Sydney and Rome, the Latin American Regional Forum hosts this roundtable workshop where each of our panelists will discuss different issues that should be considered by practitioners when dealing in Asian Investments in Latin America. Most developed countries have been increasing the level of scrutiny over the acquisition of strategic national assets by foreign companies. Similar restrictions exist in Latin American countries, but are generally not well-regulated and not uniformly applied. By holding face-to-face discussions seated in a round table with our public, the panellists will discuss the challenges and opportunities for Asian investment in Latin America in the face of enhanced restrictions in the global market.
