What other external factors will challenge Latin America in 2012? (US growth, Chinese inflation, OPEC policy, etc) How is Latin America perceived today by global financial investors vis-à-vis other emerging markets: East Asia, South Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Mid-east? What will drive growth in the region’s twin giants: Mexico and Brazil? Is the region becoming more economically independent or more globalized and vulnerable to external shocks?  Why are some countries (Argentina, Brazil, others) increasingly protectionist?  Will protectionism spread further in the region? Several elections took place in 2011 (Argentina, Peru, Jamaica, Guatemala, Nicaragua) and three more are set for 2012 (DR, Mexico, Venezuela).  What will be the most compelling political results emerging from this busy electoral calendar? Peru and Colombia are the region’s darling economies at present?  How will they fare in 2012? What are the three biggest regional investment opportunities in Latin America in 2012? What are the three biggest Canadian export opportunities to Latin America in 2012?
