Abstract
In discussing this topic, I would like first of all to provide some background information on the current scenario of finance and trade in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
I will then briefly comment on the European economic situation and its impact on our region in terms of trade and investments and the prospects for economic relations which will open up between the two regions over the next few years. After that, I would like to comment on the situation in the Asian Pacific region and on the opportunities they offer to Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Finally, I propose that relations between the EU and AM should not cease to be important, but that they should be regulated according to the logic of new global economics and, consequently, that we should promote trade and investment agreements which are mutually more favourable.
