How are governments and financial markets in Latin America responding to the global pandemic and recession? Milbank partner Allan Marks discusses cross-border investment, asset valuations, and legal initiatives across Latin America with Milbank Capital Markets partners Fabiana Sakai in São Paulo and Carlos T. Albarracín in New York. As economies struggle in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and throughout the region, the economic effects may be similar but politics vary markedly. Discover how LatAm markets are coping with the challenges of liquidity, widening inequality, falling commodity prices and interest rates, and currency volatility, and what it all means for debt and equity investors, restructuring opportunities, and public and private sources of new capital.
