Impact Investment in South America, a fast growing market: Opportunities for 2017 onwards.
With the exception of Brasil, Colombia and Peru, the impact investment market in South America is in an early stage compared to regional and international leaders in the field, but key political, regulatory and market specific developments in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay are taking place in 2016, accelerate the conditions needed and the readiness of investable opportunities in these countries.
In the current scenario, can these countries make the most of the lessons learnt by other nations, and leapfrog to become an attractive destination for international investors looking for triple bottom line opportunities in Latam?
