OVERVIEW
The Inter-American Economic Council (Council) is sponsoring a Business Roundtable, with the participation in the exclusive IberoAmerican Summit of Heads of State and Heads of Government. The Council expects to attract business leaders and Government representatives from throughout the Americas, including all of the Presidents of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking Countries of the Hemisphere. Annually, the IberoAmerican Heads of State convene to discuss essential issues involving the Americas plus Portugal and Spain. They want to hear the views of the business community about the pace of foreign investment in Latin America, the FTAA process, Finance, and other market sectors. Participants will have direct interaction and networking opportunities with the Hemisphere's Decision Makers. This Roundtable event is organized by the Council with the full support and cooperation of the Government of Bolivia and the General Secretariat of the IberoAmerican Summit.


ROUNDTABLE GOALS
The first Goal of the IberoAmerican Business Roundtable is to expand business opportunities in the Americas with an obvious emphasis on the Southern Cone.

The second Goal will be to report immediately to the IberoAmerican Heads of State. Based on the private-public discussions and outcomes, the Council's "Roundtable Report" will provide recommendations for achieving economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean.
