Understand how political uncertainty in resource-rich Latin America will impact global trade and supply chains

Will the region lean towards nationalist or free-market policies? How will supply chains to the US and Canada hold up in the face of Mexican manufacturing uncertainty?

We help clients understand the geopolitical context of the Latin America region, so they can balance opportunities with risks.

“Latin American countries face a choice between an inward-looking protectionism and a continued focus on trade as China seeks access to the region’s resources.”
