Q2: Visions of the New World

As the world rebuilds from the pandemic and boosts demand for commodities, Latin America has the potential to supply the world with what’s needed for the energy transition to net-zero emissions. This Q2 2021 issue of LatinFinance magazine examines what must be done to not waste the chance and delves into the large potential for lithium exports as well as the similarly chipper prospects for copper. It also investigates the challenges to finance businesses, takes a look at the growth of the digital payments business in Brazil, and explores the business of catastrophe in Brazil, where insurance-linked securities are expected to gain traction for crop and flood protection as the climate changes.
