Tuesday, March 16 | Latin America ‘nearshoring’ webcast series: Costa Rica session (1 pm ET)

Recent disruptions to global supply chains have heightened interest in the concept of “nearshoring” (i.e., the transferring of a business operation to a nearby country from a more distant one). In the North American and Western Hemisphere markets, potential locations in Latin America are being considered for a range of corporate functions – from shared services to regional headquarters to logistics and manufacturing. Across the region, a range of incentive regimes exist to help businesses address nearshoring issues related to real estate, energy, customs duties and requirements, job training and income tax.

To provide information and help answer questions about nearshoring in Latin America, EY is sponsoring a series of webcasts featuring our local country professionals. This latest session in the series will focus on Costa Rica.

Topics will include:

  • Overview of supply chain resilience, including nearshoring
  • Review of specific business trends driving resilience
  • Tax consequences of business decisions
  • Costa Rica as a shared services center, logistics and trading and manufacturing hub/Free Trade Zone regime
