Anticipate a higher number of Latin American companies going public on Nasdaq by 2024

In an interview with Bloomberg Línea, Ivana Ferreira, Head of Nasdaq for Latin America, stated that despite the various challenges faced by the US market, the environment for initial public offerings (IPOs) will be favorable for many companies in the region.

Uncertainty about a possible economic recession in the United States and interest rate hikes have created a fragile environment for investors. Many Latin American startups valued above $100 million considered going public on Nasdaq in 2021, and although some have changed course, Ferreira points out that some have prepared themselves to list the following year. This is the case for companies like Ebanx, PicPay, Rappi, and the fintech firm Creditas, one of the most valuable in Latin America.
