The president of Ceapi believes that Ibero-America is a region of “future” and brings “enormous” opportunities.
The president of the Alliance for Ibero-America Business Council (Ceapi), Núria Vilanova, highlighted during a business meeting that Ibero-America is a region “of the future” and Spain is aware of the “enormous” opportunities it provides in areas such as raw materials , tourism or “nearshoring”.
During the event, in which the participants presented Spain’s economic projections for 2023 to the presidents of companies and members of Ibero-American business families that are members of the organization, reflections were made on investment relations between Latin America and the European Union. In this sense, Vilanova stressed that Spain is the largest European investor in Latin America and the Latin American region is being built through contributions from the private sector, in both directions.
Thus, she has given an example of the role of Mexico in Spain, which is the fourth largest investor, with a cumulative figure of 47,168 million euros, “which highlights the two-way importance of the relationship.” “The region occupies an important geostrategic space. We already know the interest of the United States and China, as well as the growing attention of Italy, France and the United Kingdom”, she has reviewed.
In the development of the business meeting, the president of Ceapi recalled the celebration of the VI Ceapi Ibero-American Congress for presidents of companies and business families, which will be held from May 30 to June 1 at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.
The meeting will focus on business relations between Latin America and the European Union, on the occasion of the Spanish presidency of the EU during the second half of 2023, during which this issue of Latin America will be “a priority axis”.
For his part, the Governor of the Bank of Spain, Pablo Hernández de Cos, who also spoke at the conference, reviewed the latest monetary policy decisions taken by the European Central Bank (ECB). “The last increase carried out in its meeting in February supposes a continuation in the path of tightening of the monetary policy”, he has expressed.
