Rafael Garces, MD, Head of Project & Structured

Finance, Caja Madrid

Traditionally Latin America invests less than 2% of re-

gional GDP in infrastructure. During the 2008 & 2009

financial turmoil, private investments in infrastructure

shrunk while governments planned fiscal stimulus to off-

set a crowding-out effect. In 2010, current economicrecovery in the region is not infrastructure-driven, and the

region continues to underinvest in this industry, while

countries like China invest about 9% or 10% of GDP.

Panelist will discuss innovative financial mechanisms to

invest in strategic infrastructure projects that can trans-

form national and regional economies, raise competi-

tiveness and create long-term jobs. They will also dis-

cuss regional financial trends and steps necessary to

increase private and public investments in infrastructure.
