Event information

According to the International Monetary Fund, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is experiencing continued low economic growth amid a stalling COVID-19 recovery, rampant inflation, and the knock-on effects of Russia’s war in Ukraine. China, too, is facing economic uncertainties, even as growth is expected to markedly increase this year. Amid these difficulties, China-LAC deal-making continues more or less apace, however — often related to the shifting economic realities brought about by climate change and energy transformation.

Join us on Wednesday, May 24 from 9:00-10:00 AM EDT for a virtual discussion of China’s evolving economic relations with LAC, featuring new findings and data from the Boston University Global Development Policy Center and the Inter-American Dialogue. What trends were evident in China-LAC economic engagement in 2022? How are China-LAC trade, investment, development finance, debt, and diplomacy evolving amid shifting economic demands and new policy agendas? And what are the prospects for future China-LAC engagement across economic sectors?

We invite participants to submit questions using the Q&A function in Zoom.
