Shocks and Ladders: LatAm Supply Chains in Transition
Geopolitical frictions, protectionist trade policies, and the global race for supremacy in artificial intelligence present new challenges and opportunities for Latin America’s diverse economies.
Join Moody’s Chief Economist Mark Zandi and Jesse Rogers, Head of LatAm economics, for a live webinar discussion of how these forces stand to impact key industries in the region.
They will provide an overview of the global economic landscape and share their assessment of the key challenges and opportunities facing commodity producers and manufacturers in LatAm, including whether the current global environment could serve as a springboard to scale value chains and break the cycle of low productivity and flagging investment.
