2012 promises to be a year of uncertainty if the economic crisis in the Eurozone is anything to go by, with possible knock on effects in the US and other countries and general volatility in the financial markets. Nevertheless, there is plenty to suggest that Latin America and the Caribbean will remain largely unaffected by these issues, and will be able to continue with the plans and projects that are underway in the sectors that we cover. This BNamericas special edition offers a vision of how 2012 will pan out for the telecommunications, IT, financial services, electric power, oil & gas, mining and infrastructure sectors.
