It argues that they have become one of the main and most powerful forces for the integration of the country in the global capitalist system. Globalising processes lived and promoted by the Mexican business class are contradictory in several respects: on one hand, modernisation, institutionalisation and depersonalisation of corporate structures and of the system of business representation; is hindered by business clientelism and corruption in party funding.

  • Actualización Conjunta De Nuestro Universo De Cobertura
    Actualización conjunta de nuestro universo de cobertura Mercado accionario Análisis fundamental en medio de la pandemia colombiano Dirección de Investigaciones Económicas, Sectoriales y de Mercados Julio de 2020 Análisis fundamental en medio de la pandemia 47% sobreponderar, 5% Neutral, 37% subponderar y 11% Bajo Revisión La incertidumbre y el miedo hacen una mezcla explosiva para los mercados financieros, generando descalces de valor como los que, en nuestra opinión, vivimos en la actualidad. Esta sobrerreacción a las noticias económicas negativas en medio del pánico (covid-19) es normal en el corto plazo, abriendo oportunidades de inversión desde un punto de vista fundamental para portafolios que quieran apostarle a la recuperación económica. Actualizamos nuestro universo de cobertura realizando diferentes ajustes a nuestra metodología de valoración, entre las que destacamos ajustes en la tasa de descuento, expectativas de crecimiento en los diferentes sectores económicos, al igual que nuevas proyecciones macroeconómicas para Colombia y los países de la región. Con base en lo anterior, concluimos que el mercado colombiano presenta un atractivo descuento fundamental, con un índice COLCAP que presenta un potencial de valorización del 38,9%. Es importante tener presente que ninguna compañía nos arroja un potencial de valorización negativo, en otras palabras, la recomendación de Subponderar obedece a que dichos activos rentarán un 5% menos que la expectativa fundamental del índice Colcap Nunca antes el trabajo de un analista fundamental había sido tan complejo, pues las compañías de cara a la coyuntura han dejado de dar su visión de expectativa de resultados para 2020, lo que incrementa el nivel de riesgo de nuestras recomendaciones.

  • Chapter 3: Business for Development
    Chapter 3: Business for Development Multinationals, telecommunications and development Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows have stepped up dramatically around the world since the mid-1980s. In Latin America, the 1990s were a period of accelerated FDI inflows, led by the entry of developed-country multinationals into newly privatised or liberalized sectors. The real change, however, is not in the game but in the players. Of worldwide FDI stocks, the share emanating from developing countries has increased by half, growing from 8 per cent in 1990 to 12 per cent in 2005. Latin American enterprises now also play away from home. Since 2006, the value of annual outward FDI flows from the major countries in the region has flirted with the $40 billion mark. This explosion of outward investment is largely the result of the rapid internationalisation of a small number of large enterprises, mainly from Brazil and Mexico. Indeed, in 2006, Brazil was a net source of FDI, with outward flows amounting to $26 billion, as compared to inflows of $18 billion. The largest Latin American multinationals are in primary commodities and related activities; Mexico’s cement producer, CEMEX, and Brazil’s Petrobras, in oil, and Companhia Vale do Río Doce (CVRD), in mining, are important examples. Services and final goods have also become key areas of multinational activity by Latin American firms, first regionally, and now, for a small number of very successful enterprises, globally. While these firms’ multinational growth reflects diverse corporate strategies, scopes and ambitions, it places Latin America firmly on the new global map of home countries for multinational corporate activity.
