A Challenging Business Environment

The Caribbean and Central America is a vibrant and growing region, presenting opportunities for investors across many sectors
Yet it is also home to a complex and diverse political and business environment, posing a range of challenges to current and prospective investors
For many investors, Caribbean and Central American markets constitute uncharted waters, and the political and business environments are unfamiliar, undermining the effective evaluation of opportunities
Accurate information and reliable analysis is also often scarce and hard to come by, which can slow or frustrate investment decisions that stand to bring real benefits, both to investors, and the economies of the region.
