Given the Challenges faced throughout Latin America, how are Private and Public market participants reacting to continuing investment in the region?
This event hosted by Intesa Sanpaolo will focus on:
- Challenges faced by Latin America in continuing to attract investments in light of elections, and corruption scandals.
- As some of the prominent large international and regional conglomerates face liquidity constrains (including bankruptcy), who will be the white knights coming to the rescue? Is the Public sector stepping up to provide guarantees? How are the private lenders reacting? Are equity investors finding more opportunities to add value given the market dynamics?
- Availability of government support or contractual flexibility when projects' parties face issues (i.e. ability to change owners and/or operators).
- Case Studies of agreed solutions to salvage a project due to Sponsor-related issues.
