The Latin America-China investment relationship is evolving tremendously. In the last 10 years alone, bilateral investment between Latin America and China grew by 1,400%, totaling over US$140bn. Paced by record investment in natural resources, the relationship has matured to include investments in sectors ranging from automotives to manufacturing.
A more complex exchange has emerged encompassing RMB fixed-income structures and rising equity & debt investments into Latin American sectors as their demographics shift. These and other factors have positioned the Latin America-China investment relationship as a vital component of the global economy for years to come.
Now in its fourth year, The Latin America China Investors Forum (LA-CIF) has grown into the main venue for Chinese portfolio and direct investors to discover new investment strategies and opportunities with Latin American companies, governments, issuers and fund managers and start the process towards deals, investments and sustainable business relationships. Two days of comprehensive panels and presentations will be complimented by private and pre-arranged 1-1 meetings at the Forum.
With over 500 delegates and 320 1-1 investor meetings last year, LA-CIF is where Latin America connects with Chinese investors. Last year's speakers included:
