“Since the current crisis is different from the one in 2008 as it affects countries more than companies, emerging countries are now seen as attractive places to make investments despite all the risks,” said Hedmon Rios, an economist at Celfin Capital.

Rios noted that observing recent evaluations of sovereign credit ratings, some Latin American countries could easily be mistaken with developed countries.

“Peru, Chile and Colombia are the countries that attract more capital flows in Latin America as their macroeconomic indexes guarantee a proper economic management,” he said.

Rios went on to say that these three countries have reacted with such a flexibility that they have proven to be strong economies.

Among these countries, Peru could be the most attractive one for investments because of its expected high growth rates and strong investments in infrastructure to be carried out in the next months.
