Since the early nineteenth century, South America has been an important recipient of international loans and foreign direct investment. London and New York became the financial centers for South American governments and companies. Given the economy structures of all countries in the region with low saving capacity, South America largely depends on foreign direct investments for its development and growth. Although it is still a region of many contrasts, it plays an increasingly important role in the business strategies of multinational enterprises. However, South America’s legal and business environment is still highly complex for many. Written by experts in each country, this book discusses the legal environment for investments in infrastructure in the ten major countries in South America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. The chapters focus on the national regulations that affect the lives of companies aiming to set up operations in these countries, including the regulatory framework.

Additionally, the guide provides the association formed between the public and private sectors through PPPs and PPIs and the financing available in each of the aforementioned countries.
