IS LATIN AMERICA THE FUTURE OF OFFSHORE BANKING?

Posted by Luis Miranda in Offshore Banking Latin America Report 2009 , Latin America investments , Expats in Latin America , Boomers in Latin America , Alternative Latin Investor

The Climate Of Greater Transparency And Stricter Regulation Is Forcing Great Changes In The Offshore Banking World; Latin America’s Industry Is Poised and Ready For The Future.

Crisis, technology & and a new political climate are all factors influencing how Business’s and Individual’s find security for their monetary assets. Wealthy Latin Americans have often made provisions for their savings outside their home countries but often within the region. Caribbean nations and Panama have been popular destinations, whose offshore banking facilities have attracted international clients for many years. Now offshore banks within the region are proving attractive to a new clientele

“The crisis has been good for offshore banking and it’s been an impetus for growth in Latin America” Xavier Borja, Loyal Bank Ltd., Panama

There are many positive factors indicating that offshore banking services in Latin America will have sustained growth in the coming years. I do highly recommend to read the great report prepared by the team of Alternative Latin Investor. Offshore Banking. Latin America 2009. Which combines interviews, analysis and expert opinions on all the most important factors shaping the industry in the region today.

VIVA MEXICO - Celebrating the 199th Anniversary of the independence of Mexico

Posted by Luis Miranda in Viva Mexico , September 16th , September 15th , Miguel Hidalgo , Mexico Independence , Mexico , El Grito de Dolores

VIVA MEXICO!... It was on this day in the early hours of September 16, 1810 when Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Influenced by the concepts of liberty, equality and democracy proposed by the French philosophers Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, and by the war of Independence of the United States, rang the bell of his little church in Dolores calling everyone to fight for liberty in a famous speech, known to history as the Grito de Dolores. This was the beginning of the Independence War, which lasted 10 years.

VIVA MEXICO!... is the yearly GRITO from millions of Mexican mouths all over the world. Today, it will be to celebrate the 199 anniversary of Mexico Independence. It is an always emotional celebration throughout the Country. Streets, houses, buildings and cars are decorated everywhere. On every street and plaza there are vendors selling flags, balloons, sombreros, reguiletes and pinatas. Flags wave from practically every house and building. People of all ages celebrate.

Food is always a very important part of these festivities. Hundreds of stands are set up several days before and offer the traditional Antojitos Mexicanos. During September, Mes de la Patria, "the month of our nation" as it is called in Mexico, restaurants serve traditional Mexican dishes.

In the larger cities and in the smallest towns and villages; painted faces, thousands of green, white and red flags, Sombreros music, traditional dishes, fireworks and much more, fill with color the sites where people gather to participate in this popular family festival. The euphoria is collective and all are prepared to shout, yell and make as much noise as possible with the purpose of showing our Mexican pride and sharing the happiness of being a free country. Everybody is welcome to Mexico. Come to Mexico, enjoy Mexico, live Mexico. Beyond your expectations. VIVA MEXICO!

Baby Boomers Will Drive Real Estate Growth

Posted by Luis Miranda in NAR Baby Boomers and Real Estate Today , Latin America , International Real Estate , Boomers Real Estate , Boomers Generation , Baby Boomers

Baby boomers have been a driving force in many areas of the economy, culture and consumer attitudes for several decades. As the oldest boomers approach retirement in the next few years they will begin contemplating not just whether to retire, but also where they want to live in the next stage of their life. One big component of this decision is the housing choices that boomers will make as they decide whether to sell a home, relocate or invest in real estate.

As a group, baby boomers comprise the largest population cohort in the history of the United States & Canada. The size of the group gives it vast influence over North American politics, popular cultural, and of course, real estate & interantional real estate.

To evaluate the influence of the baby boomers on the future of real estate, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) conducted a study in 2006. The findings of the research were published in report entitled Baby Boomers and Real Estate: Today and Tomorrow.

Even that the study is from 2006, and that we have lived tremendous times lately, that is exactly why the name of the study was "Baby Boomers and Real Estate: Today and Tomorrow". Demographics are demographics, and Baby Boomers are Baby Boomers. "Baby Boomers are the most powerful consumers in the marketplace today and will continue to be, regradless of the economic climate, for many years to come." - say David Weigelt & Jonathan Boehman in their great Book "Dot Boom."

Below are some highlights from the NAR study.

The President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, last month, launched a $92 million public relations campaign to promote travel to Mexico. The campaign is called "Vive Mexico" and its goal is to encourage travel both to Mexico and within Mexico
In order to stimulate travel, Calderon has asked Mexican resorts to offer special travel packages, deals and discounts, which will be promoted on a new Web site, www.ofertasvivemexico.com. He's also asked Mexican citizens and celebrities—including athletes, actors and other public figures—to contribute to the campaign, the former by acting as tourism "ambassadors" who spread the word about Mexican destinations and the latter by appearing in advertisements, offering testimonials on behalf of Mexico's tourism industry.

The Importance of Mexican Medical Insurance

Posted by Luis Miranda in Untagged

Today, we find all sorts of information on medical tourism for Mexico. Suddenly it has become the "in" thing to have medical procedures done here. But those foreigners who have lived in the country for several years now, have known for a while that medical procedures are just as safe here, as they are in the States, and Canada, but often much cheaper. Even so, no matter how cheap medical costs can be expensive and its best to have some sort of medical insurance costs to live in Mexico budgeted for yourself.

Just as medical procedures themselves, medical insurance costs to live in Mexico are not that high either. First lets establish that Mexico is an independent country, and as such most insurance plans from the United States, or Canada are not valid here, and when you have an emergency, flying off to your native country is often not a viable option.

Leading industry experts and many of those who have journeyed ahead will share their personal experiences and knowledge in a great variety of areas.

Boomers Living Abroad

The number of Americans and Canadians living abroad, by today's count approximately 7 million (according to The Washington Post), is twice the population of Chicago and greater than that of 33 U.S. States. A number that has grown steadily over the past decade, and it is expected to more than double within ten years. In the next 20 years, 100 million baby boomers, from the USA and Canada, are going to retire. Five million baby boomers turn age 60 each year, Ten Thousand per day, Eight per minute, and scores of them are purchasing property abroad as vacation homes or investment homes. Naturally, many of them are auditioning these homes for potential primary retirement residences.
