We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Center for the Study of Emerging Markets' "Doing Business In" series.  The mission of the Center is to promote the flow of information between U.S. firms and emerging markets around the globe.  The South America installment launches the first of a multipart series of trade opportunities and guidelines for doing business in emerging markets.  Each country report highlights the following:

• A Market Overview

The South America installment introduces opportunities in many countries such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama.  The Argentina section tells of how the country has overcome its 2002 economic crisis, its strong economic growth, and its optimistic forecast for the future.
