Bridging infrastructure gaps through smart investment

This event promoted a peer dialogue on investment in Latin American infrastructure, both between governments and between governments and investors to address the following questions:

Which strategies are more useful to facilitate investment?

The meeting revolved around six interactive panels:

Investment in infrastructure: the development nexus
Investment in energy: regional approaches and experiences
Investment in transport: corporate strategies and regulatory challenges
Investment in infrastructure: what role for long-term investors?
Investment facilitation: Pacific Alliance perspectives
What’s next?

Co-organised with the Government of Peru and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and supported by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), this conference was the fourth meeting of the Latin America and Caribbean-OECD Investment Initiative.
