INVESTING IN LATIN AMERICA

Latin America is attracting more private equity investments from institutions based both domestically and overseas, lured by a combination of favorable regulatory changes, demographic shifts and strong economic fundamentals, according to two reports published this month.

Institutional assets in Latin America are growing at one of the fastest rates on the planet at 20% compounded annually over the past three years, with aggregate pension assets having reached about $638 billion in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia

“Brazil has leapfrogged China as the most attractive market for dealmaking,  considered the center of private equity activity in Latin America — has attracted the most commitments recently and offers “compelling long-term opportunities,” 

Colombia also held strong potential for managers looking to invest in the country, according to sources who contributed to the report. “The case for private equity (in Colombia) is supported by strong deal flow … and attractive protection of minority shareholder rights,” ranking sixth highest in terms of investor protection in the World Bank.

Chile has the most established business environment in Latin America, according to the report, “combining a well-developed banking sector and capital markets with prudent regulations.” 

Peru  investors was taken a wait-and-see approach to Peru on the last 2011 election in June, won by Ollanta Humala, PERU is a country that features practically all of the planet`s climate, with remarkable natural resources, mining, and power resources, third largest country in south america 7.6 million hectares of agriculture potential and best commodity segment investment opportunity.  The country`s top exports apart from agriculture include COPPER, ZINC, GOLD & SILVER and only the 10% of the mining potential has been explored so far. It holds the third potential investment place worldwide for the last 3 years in the mining sector.

Mexico, which is the second-largest economy in Latin America behind Brazil, also held strong potential. However, “Mexico has a high correlation to the U.S.A., which ties the economy to the recovery of the advanced world,” according to the Partners Group report.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HOW YOU CAN START PARTICIPATING ON LATIN AMERICA`S ECONOMY GROWTH

Hello everyone, I had created a networking group of Latin American trading for you to review it and participate on.

THE ECONOMIES IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBEAN ARE HEADING INTO THEIR 15TH YEAR OF STRONG GROWTH

REGIONAL ECONOMIES EXPANDED BY AN AVERAGE OF 5.6 % IN 2007 TO 2008 AND ARE FORECAST TO GROW ABOVE THAT, 

THE REGION IS OBTAINING THE EXPERIENCE OF A SUSTAINABLE POSITIVE ECONOMY IN THER LAST 10 YEARS 

So, before you begin to carry out commercial actions in Latin America you should consider the following: 

1) Get to know the business culture: Latin America is a very attractive market to carry out business and it presents countless opportunities, but NOW IS THE TIME, AN STRONG ECONOMIC GROWTH CONTINUES TO GROW IN LATIN AMERICA FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS. it also presents many obstacles due to its great territorial extension, language, cultural differences, etc. 

2) Relationship building is the crucial: 

It's all about relationships, and more so in Latin America. Latinos like to have the personal contact element, in fact you almost have to build a friendship before you will see a business deal develop. 

The driving force behind any relationship is "confianza" (trust) and unlike in the US, in Latin America "time is not money". GAINING TRUST IS WHERE THINGS GET YOU WANT YOU WANT. WHEN YOU ASSIST ANYONE ELSE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT...! 

Building a relationship with your clients takes time and great connections, requires investments and knowing of the local culture. 

3) Choosing the right path: 

As supplier of products and/or services your company can consider several options to enter to the Latin American market. 

Some of them could be: to establish local operations, to assist the market from their central offices, to be contacted with embassies, or to hire the services from any LATIN AMERICA reliable and trustworthy contact.... LET US KNOW IS YOU NEED SOME ASSISTANCE TO ENTER THIS MARKET. 

SALUDOS CORDIALES...! AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS...
