Description:
A changing political landscape, currency fluctuation, abundant resources, and opportunities for innovation: Latin America continues to offer opportunities for many investors.
Some investors began their operations in Latin America over 100 years ago, others are recent entries; and they all have unique nuances and challenges. While historic investments may have concentrated on Mexico's border as well as Brazil, today's investors face a different reality. The Andes region is gaining appeal, particularly Colombia, and the curiosity about Cuba is felt worldwide.
Patience is key. Some sectors are hot while others wait for recovery. It is common for new investors to encounter challenges with balancing an enthusiastic deals team with understanding new regulatory requirements and complex tax regimes. Limited governance and an immature compliance structure is generally the norm rather than the exception.
In our latest PwC’s Deals Practice webcast, we will cover the current landscape, common pitfalls and practical steps that can provide valuable insight in evaluating the targets as well as opportunities and challenges for investors in the region.
- What is the current landscape for investing in Latin America
- What are some common pitfalls that derail the deal
- What are some practical steps to perform to gain more confidence about the target
- How can an investor focus on compliance and regulatory risk (i.e., anti-corruption, third party interactions, cyber risk, anti-trust, etc)
