Lack of opportunity has displaced crime and violence as the main reason for migration. The region constantly struggles to create enough sources of decent employment to motivate people to stay in their countries. However, domestic and foreign investors face a persistent and difficult barrier to overcome. Legal uncertainty and weak rule of law do not provide the necessary certainty for investors to look to the region as an attractive destination. This panel will bring together regional and foreign private sector perspectives, as well as the perspective of the Alliance for Central America, which is focused on achieving investment commitments as part of Kamala Harris’ Call to Action.

This session will be livestreamed on Seattle International Foundation’s social media pages.
