Shaping a new narrative for Latin America
Protectionist rhetoric and global political uncertainty is adversely affecting Latin America. More positively, significant reforms and upcoming elections promise far-reaching political and socio-economic transformations. At the same time, signs of economic recovery, renewed anti-corruption efforts and encouraging regional integration advancements demonstrate how the region is seeking new solutions to its challenges.
Regional Agenda
The World Economic Forum provides a platform to harness current momentum and help shape a new narrative for the region. The Latin America regional community has identified two key focuses: prioritizing responsible leadership and people’s well-being; and embracing technology and innovation to modernize economies and advance economic progress for all.
The Forum is addressing these priorities through a number of projects and activities.
The next form of AI, Artificial General Intelligence, has the potential to be a key driver in reshaping financial services, especially for underbanked and unbanked populations.
Gender Parity Accelerators have significantly improved a legislative and societal drive for women’s workforce participation and reduced the gender gap.
The Latin American region has recently seen significant political shifts, but it boasts competitive advantages and opportunities in key areas, such as green energy.
