Latin America Advisor
On February 16, Managing Director of Cefeidas Group, Juan Cruz Díaz and analyst, Megan Cook were published in the Inter-American Dialogue’s Latin America Advisor.
They responded to the following questions:

What will be the economic consequences if Macri fails to push through labor reforms?
