Nearly 60 guests participated in our second debt and private equity breakfast in Mexico City, where we spoke with ecosystem leaders about the similarities and differences between the Mexican and Chilean debt markets, as well as the key role of private financing in the countries' economic growth.
At the meeting, which was well attended by clients, our partner Cristián Donoso highlighted the opportunities presented by private debt as an asset in the current scenario, while Ignacio Briones, economist, former Minister of Finance and President of Horizontal, addressed the economic challenges and the conditions for resuming growth.
The financial ecosystem has diversified, integrating alternative intermediaries that facilitate access to financing and expand investment options, with outstanding growth in economies such as Chile.
While large companies are breathing, SMEs and real estate companies are still struggling for oxygen. Bank credit looks like a party with a VIP list: few guests, many waiting outside. But there are other doors, if we know where to knock.
High rates, empty houses, homeless families... the problem persists without a clear solution. When will the Chilean real estate industry wake up again? Are we facing a new reality that is here to stay?
All indications are that private debt will continue to gain space in Chile. Macroeconomic uncertainty, combined with a structural need for more housing, creates a favorable environment for these instruments to become institutionalized.
Global uncertainty redefines the rules of the game and private equity responds with resilience, focus and new opportunities, highlighting its ability to adapt.
The future is green and full of opportunities. The transition to renewable energy is underway and changing the way we invest and generate wealth.
The need for alternative financing has driven the growth of private debt, transforming access to capital and fostering economic development and innovation in various sectors.
In a scenario of record mortgage rates and a constantly rising UF, for many Chileans, the dream of owning their own home has become increasingly complicated.
