ARGENTINA | ‘Mini Davos’ forum. As part of its efforts to restore Argentina’s international standing and attract foreign investment following its return to international financial markets on the back of the resolution of the country’s long-running debt dispute, the government led by President Mauricio Macri began hosting its ‘Argentina Business & Investment Forum’ in the city of Buenos Aires on 12 September. The event, which concludes on 15 September, has been billed by the Macri government as a ‘mini Davos’ for Argentina, modelled on the annual World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort attended by global business and political leaders.
