IBA panel: “geopolitical rationale” is diversifying Asian investments in LatAm

Posse Herrera Ruiz partner Jaime Cubillos – who moderated the panel with Galicia Abogados’ José Visoso – kicked off the discussion by explaining how the former “dominance of foreign investment from the United States and Western European jurisdictions” in Latin America’s market has been “balanced” out by a spike in interest from players in China, Japan and Singapore over the past decade.
