This chapter presents Latin American emerging markets. Here we shall discuss two questions that are important to investors: (1) What are the financial, economic, and political characteristics of Latin America? And (2) what are the investment laws there? To answer the first question, the political, economic, financial, and compound risk indexes of the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) are used. As regards investor regulation, on the other hand, shareholder rights, their enforcement, insider trading, and the barriers imposed on foreign investors are first discussed. Thus, to answer the second question, it is necessary to construct an Investment Law Index by which the relevant information is aggregated.
