  the M&A landscape in Latin America
DESCRIPTION:In Latin America\, the sudden shock caused by Covid-19 trigge
 red a steep decline in M&amp\;A transactions after the high point of 201
 9. As businesses look towards a brighter 2022\, will they be able to sei
 ze the opportunities the region offers? \n\nLatin America presents a gro
 wing market characterised by resilience\, emerging sectorsand weaker cur
 rencies\, in addition to a strong cross-border M&amp\;A tradition\, bols
 tered by the international trend towards globalisation. The pandemic als
 o spedup the implementation of virtual and remote forms of business\, wh
 ich had long been in use in other regions\, thus facilitating transactio
 ns. On the other hand\, uncertainty about shifting political climates\, 
 public policy\, regulation\, socio-political landscapes and so oncan dam
 pen investors’ enthusiasm. \n\nA panel of experts will discuss strategie
 s to protect regional investments and identify opportunities\, while ste
 ering safely around the region’s volatility.\n
