Welcome
Mergermarket and Greenberg Traurig are pleased to present this year’s edition of the Latin American M&A Spotlight.
Foreword
Respondents are optimistic about the prospects for Latin American dealmaking in the year ahead. But while 2017-18 is ripe with opportunities, dealmakers should proceed with caution.
Latin American Dealmaking in 2017
Respondents unanimously predict that Latin American firms will play a larger role in acquisitions going forward, both within the region and farther afield.
Conclusion
The year 2016 brought economic pain and political turmoil in Latin America. But the seas may be calming in 2017 as new administrations chart courses ahead in Argentina and Peru, and the regional economy begins to expand.

Methodology
For this fifth edition of the Latin American M&A Spotlight, Mergermarket interviewed 50 investors and corporate executives who focus on the Latin American region.

All respondents are anonymous and results are presented in aggregate.
