  • Four Seasons Park Lane, W1J 7DR
  • 08:45-14:30

Canning House and our partners look ahead to examine the forces shaping Latin America’s political, economic, social and business environment over the next 5 years and beyond.

The Canning House LatAm Outlook

The Canning House Latin American Outlook will authoritatively assess the forces shaping Latin America’s political, economic, social and business environment over the next 5 years and beyond, and project their likely impact on society, financial and economic development, and trade and investment.

Essential for any business wrestling with decisions about whether or not to trade, invest or offer financial services to the major economies of Latin America. Equally vital for existing businesses seeking to stay resilient in the face of potential changes.

In partnership with Ipsos, Itaú Bank, Control Risks, and FT LatAm Editor Michael Stott.
