Carlos Lobo Discusses Renewed Latin American Investment Cycle in BNamericas
Arnold & Porter Mergers & Acquisitions partner Carlos Lobo was interviewed for the BNamericas article, “Geopolitical shifts, friendlier governments spark new Latin American investment cycle,” which examines renewed investor interest in Latin America amid geopolitical shifts and the emergence of more market-friendly governments across the region.
Carlos said the region “may be at the beginning of a new cycle,” as growing U.S.-China tensions redirect Western attention toward Latin America while political changes improve the environment for private investment. He highlighted infrastructure, mining, energy, and agribusiness as key areas attracting investment, pointing to opportunities in transportation and digital infrastructure, critical minerals, and energy projects.
He also pointed to growing activity from U.S. infrastructure funds, saying, “I haven't seen the US funds this active in the region for a long time.” He added that Latin America’s abundant land and low-cost renewable energy could create new opportunities for data center investment as development faces increasing constraints in the United States.
