A service between the Far East and South America has been launched by Cosco Shipping Holding out of the Hainan Provinces Yangpu International Container Terminal. Major Brazilian ports like Itaqui, Santos, Balanagua, Itaboa, Navigentes, and Itajai are also covered by the service. Since the start of the YangpuWest Africa service in September of last year, there are now two intercontinental routes that connect to Yangpu, allowing local cargo from Yangpu to be shipped directly to West Africa. The successful launch of a new service is a move by Cosco Shipping Holding to support the growth of Yangpus international container hub port. It is also a significant indicator of Yangpus capacity expansion and provides a fresh shipping option for trade between the Hainan free trade port and foreign businesses. Read More..

Funding for financial technology fintech companies with headquarters in Latin America and the Caribbean decreased 71%, from a peak of $13.9 billion in 2021 to $4 billion in 2022, according to CB Insight. The third major blow came with the SVB collapse since the bank caters to tech firms. The CEO of the technological business Torre, which receives investment from SpaceX and Apple, Alexander Torrenegra, agrees. He had resources from multiple SVB enterprises, a mortgage, and his own savings. I know friends whose parents lost everything in bank runs in South America, Torrenegra wrote in a tweet. Read More..

In an effort to localise the manufacturing of electric vehicles EVs in the region, Volkswagen has decided to locate its first battery cell plant outside of Europe in Canada. St. Thomas, 120 miles northeast of Detroit, will be the location of the factory. Lithium, cobalt, and nickel are among the vital minerals mined in great quantities in Canada. In addition to US climate law requirements that 50% of EV car battery components be produced in North America for vehicles to qualify for tax credits up to $7,500, VW will profit from both Canadian and American subsidies. The Inflation Reduction Act IRA, which permits incentives for automobiles with batteries built with a part of materials sourced from or processed in the US or Canada, also encourages foreign investment.

After SVBs demise, tech startups in Latin America scramble.

Startups in Latin America have limited options for a banking partner after Santa Clara Bank SVB failed. Regulators in the United States have announced

Startups in Latin America have limited options for a banking partner after Santa Clara Bank SVB failed. Regulators in the United States have announced an emergency plan that will allow SVB depositors to access their money, but startups are still without a longterm strategy. But, it might not arrive in time for employees midmonth payments.
