Latin American Economy & Business - January 2019

On Sunday 20 January President Jair Bolsonaro took a flight to Davos for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. His aim is to present to investors a new Brazil that has turned the page on years of corruption and statism. With the absence of Donald Trump, as well as other regional presidents, such as Maurici Macri or Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Bolsonaro is likely to be one of the big stars. He has even been invited to address a lunchtime audience by the World Economic Forum (WEF) chairman, Klaus Schwab, a rare honour for a Latin American leader.
