Spotlight On Latin America 2024 | Financial Times Live | 17 March 2024 | Palacio de López, Asunción, P9C7+W2C, Asunción 001012, Paraguay

With over 600 million people, a youthful demographic, abundant critical mineral reserves, half of the world's biodiversity and a quarter its forests, a third of freshwater resources, and twice the global average of renewable power generation, Latin America is poised to lead the global net-zero transition.

Join us as we explore how the region can achieve its potential through key investments in infrastructure and logistics that will open new regional and international trade routes. The discussion will focus on closing the region's infrastructure gap to enhance regional collaboration, drive economic innovation, and empower people-centered transitions, positioning Latin America as an integrated, efficient, and competitive global player.

Key discussion points:
• Key investments in infrastructure and logistics can catalyze trade, innovation, and economic diversification in sectors like clean energy, technology, mining, and agriculture.
• An investor-friendly environment marked by certainty, predictability, and transparency can help secure financing for ports, airports, roads, railways, and power transmission key projects.
• Closing the region’s infrastructure gap will position Latin America as an integrated, efficient, and competitive global player and open new regional and international trade routes.
