Crisis in Europe is Opportunity for Central America


News from Panama / Wednesday, February 20th, 2013

The Central American region remains a priority market for Spanish enterprises.  Now more than ever with the fall in European’s consumption capacities and the increase in those of the Centrals Americans it has created more opportunities.

An article in Prensalibre.com highlights the change in the sectoral composition of Spanish trade missions in Central American territories.

Before those that came were mostly utility businesses, whereas now companies interested in these markets are producers of goods.

This is what has emerged from the Spanish mission that will arrive tomorrow in Guatemala, which is made up of companies like Void Sistemas-technology, Hersill SL -medical equipment, Ineco -transport engineering, Ribloc-PVC pipe systems, Intraglobal- materials for petroleum and SRM Consulting – GIS and mapping systems.

The words of Albert Gold, International Relations Coordinator of the Madrid Chamber of Commerce, noting that Guatemala is important for its culture, economy and geo-strategic position, are no longer the usual remarks on commercial diplomacy, but simply reflect a reality that is important to address when structuring businesses.
