Latin American Infrastructure Symposium 2017 | Mergermarket Group Ltd | 9 November 2017 | Intercontinental Miami, Florida, 100 Chopin Plaza, Miami, FL 33131, US

The future is bright for Latin American infrastructure, as a confluence of demographic trends and legislative reform throughout the region are expected to accelerate investment to roughly four percent of GDP, representing approximately USD 95.17bn in investment annually. A key driver to this growth is the continuing proliferation of public-private partnerships (PPP). More Latin American governments are turning to PPPs in order to finance a range of projects, including the building of airports, highways, and water treatment plants among others.

In order for Latin American countries to hasten world class infrastructure development, as noted in a recent World Bank report, officials have to resolve "inefficient" infrastructure investment as well as improve the procurement processes. And there is reason for optimism as government and private sector bodies are more proactively addressing those issues, presenting a number of interesting and exciting opportunities for investors.
