STWR - Share The World's Resources

The last two years marked a vigorous economic recovery for Latin America following the long period of stagnation that began in 1998. However, a number of vulnerabilities remain despite the recent strong growth performance.

Especially worrisome is a potential deterioration in the international scenario over the short term causing a variety of difficulties for the region. Thus, the business community and the policy-makers have to take the necessary steps to make sure that the current positive trend continues.

The World Economic Forum on Latin America will bring together a select group of 250 leaders from business, government and civil society to identify the key regional priorities and to generate the insights necessary to develop pertinent strategic responses. Under the general theme of Building a Stronger Latin America in the Global Economy, the programme will focus on four core themes: Managing the Impact of Global and Regional Risks, Improving Competitiveness, Continuing the Integration Agenda and Re-evaluating the Investment Framework. The exclusive roundtable will be structured mainly around workshops and group discussions to reinforce interaction, ensuring the emergence of concrete proposals.

The World Economic Forum on Latin America will provide a unique platform to assess the current economic outlook and influence the policy and regulatory environment which will allow the region to become more competitive on a global scale.
