LATAM : Foreign Investors Survey 2017
“ The fact of being a neighbor with the United States , along with NAFTA , allows Mexico to have a platform not only to promote investments in local projects , but also to export to the US . 80 % of Mexico ’ s trade at an international level is done with that country .”

Argentina is proving to be a country in full recovery and with a promising future . As for Carlos María Tombeur , Partner of Severgnini , Robiola , Grinberg & Tombeur , Argentina has at this moment an interesting perspective for the “ catch-up ” against a lower investment stock in recent years to other countries of the Region .
In addition , the government has investment plans in infrastructure ( road , water , housing , etc .) and energy ( unconventional energy tenders , power plants , special conditions for oil & gas ). Likewise , the agricultural sector is in an interesting situation after the elimination of restrictions and taxes on exports . He concludes by saying that “ it is reasonable to estimate that Argentina will have a significant growth in the next three years , in terms of investment and increase in consumption and exports . Macroeconomic and institutional conditions have improved and are likely to continue to improve in the coming years .”
