Speaker: 

• Erich de la Fuente, PhD, Adjunct Professor of Politics and International Relations at Florida International University (FIU)

Senior executives gathered for a private, off-the-record, in-person conversation that explored Latin America's political outlook in 2025 with Erich de la Fuente of Florida International University.

De la Fuente's presentation highlighted the latest findings from the 2025 Latin America Country Risk Index and Analysis, conducted by FIU's Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom. This annual study evaluated the main political, economic, social, and international risks across 12 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, and Peru.

Following the presentation, attendees engaged in meaningful dialogue around the future implications of current political and economic trends in the region.
