AS/COA, in partnership with BlackRock, is pleased to present the Argentina Investment Conference 2017, featuring a keynote address by Laurence Fink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock, and Federico Sturzenegger, president of the Central Bank of Argentina.
After less than two years in office, the administration of President Mauricio Macri has moved rapidly to normalize relations with the world, advancing major economic reforms to encourage investment and economic growth.
The conference will take place after Argentina’s legislative midterm elections on October 22, decisive for the future of Macri’s administration. In this new context, what is Argentina’s economic and political outlook? What are the most promising opportunities and key considerations for businesses looking to establish or expand their operations in Argentina? What are the growth prospects of Argentina’s main sectors, and what policies and measures have been enacted recently to attract foreign investment?
This strategic, by invitation-only event will bring together senior policymakers, investors, and international and national business leaders for a forward-looking and insightful discussion.
