In just two years China has emerged as one of the main sources of international investment in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
In 2010 Chinese companies accounted for 15% of total international M&A invest-ment into LAC, matching the share of Spain and just behind the United States, which accounted for 16%.
On current trend, international investment into LAC, including Chinese investment, will fall slightly in 2011. However, the current trend would also see China take sole possession of second place in terms of its share of total inward investment into LAC at 12%. In the 8 years prior to China’s emergence as a major investor in LAC, it accounted on average for only 1% of the region’s annual international investment

On current trend, international investment into LAC, including Chinese investment, will fall slightly in 2011. However, the In addition to catching up with and surpassing most of Latin Americaˇ¦s key traditional sources of international investment, China has also been more active in the region than other emerging economies. Among these, only Brazil has at times been a significant source of cross-border investment in Latin Amer-ica, accounting for 6% of total interna-tional M&A investment in 2009 (but only accounting for 1% in 2010 and 2% in 2011).
In terms of the sectoral distribution of Chinese M&A investment into Latin America, 82% of this has been in energy, 8% in metal and steel, and 7% in mining over the period 2001-2011 (year to date)
