IX_Conferencia Latinoamericana de Leasing (Portuguese)

This is the ninth consecutive year that The Alta Group has conducted the Latin American Leasing Conference. The conference has become the meeting point for all leasing professionals in the region.

It has been customary at past Latin American Leasing Conferences to develop discussion themes that are the most relevant to members of the industry. As in previous years, the content of this year’s conference reflects the most important suggestions ofindustry members in the region.

This year, the conference will examine and discuss the future of leasing companies in the region, which face challenges imposed by the new global economic normal: challenges driven by innovation, the transition of the leasing business toward asset management, accounting and regulatory changes, bank-driven consolidation, funding challenges, and equipment vendor demands.

Important subjects that will be addressed includethe impact of future accounting standards for leasing, and the challenges for risk management and funding driven by Basel III. Furthermore, the conference will address innovation, and in particular how the region’s infrastructure development needs (energy, transportation, telecommunications, etc.) are creating opportunities for capital investment in Latin America and the potentially profitable participation of leasing companies in such economic development.

Similar to past years, we will examine the performance of the leasing industry in Latin America, using as a starting point recent data published in The Alta LAR100 report for the year 2010,Related discussion topics will be led by the main representatives of the leasing industry in the region.

In addition, there will be a special session where industry leaders will discuss the future of the leasing industry in Latin America. Since we expect attendees from Europe, the United States and China, there will be great opportunities to interact with these stakeholders to drive more business to the region.This is a unique chance to understand the actual status of the leasing industry in Latin America, and the legal, regulatory, accounting, tax and market issues affecting the industry.

In addition, all attendees will have the chance to network and exchange experiences with their colleagues and funding sources, and to meet representatives of the most important equipment manufacturers and vendors interested in contacting lessors to finance their sales.
