Five Reasons to Be (Relatively) Bullish for Latin America
Five Reasons to Be (Relatively) Bullish for Latin America
Introducing Americas Quarterly's new issue, Editor-in-Chief Brian Winter speaks in a video on why a cautious optimism is spreading across the region.
A new cautious optimism is spreading in much of Latin America. A (relatively) bullish era of economic growth is taking shape in several countries, despite the region’s real challenges. In this video, Brian Winter, editor-in-chief of Americas Quarterly identifies the five key reasons why.
“I’ve been on the road,” he says, “and there’s an optimism that I haven’t heard in maybe 10 years.” Foreign direct investment is soaring, and opportunities in nearshoring, renewable energy, e-commerce and other sectors abound. A favorable global context and the region’s resilient democracies also bolster the case for optimism.
Americas Quarterly explores all of this in its new special report: The (Relatively) Bullish Case for Latin America.
