For more than two decades, finance ministers and tax directors have lived with an assumption:corporate tax rates will keep trending down as jurisdictions compete for investment. The latest OECD Corporate Tax Statistics 2025 suggest that moment has passed. Statutory corporate income tax (CIT) rates have stopped falling and are now broadly stable, even though they...
The global tax landscape has quietly but decisively shifted. Around the world, governments are collecting more tax from companies, and they are relying on corporate income tax (CIT) more heavily than they did two decades ago. For groups operating in the Caribbean and wider Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region, this has profound...
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have no shortage of transmission expansion plans. What the region lacks is the ability to turn those plans into built, operating infrastructure fast enough to keep pace with the energy transition. The Inter-American Development Bank’s (IDB) technical note,“Unlocking the Grid: How to Ensure Reliable and Sustainable Energy in Latin...
Transmission has become the critical bottleneck in Latin America and the Caribbean’s (LAC) energy transition. It is no longer a background asset class—it is the hinge on which renewable integration, reliability, and economic competitiveness now turn. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) makes this explicit in its technical note “Unlocking the Grid: How to Ensure Reliable...
Regulation is fast becoming one of the most strategic levers for Latin America and the Caribbean’s (LAC) energy future—not just a technical box-ticking exercise. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)’s new technical note, “Unlocking the Grid: How to Ensure Reliable and Sustainable Energy in Latin America and the Caribbean” (Alarcón & Quirós-Tortós, 2025), places modern, resilient...

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) makes this point strongly in its technical note “Unlocking the Grid: How to Ensure Reliable and Sustainable Energy in Latin America and the Caribbean.” Chapter 2, “From...
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are often celebrated for their exceptional renewable energy potential—hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, and increasingly green hydrogen. Yet a quiet reality sits behind the headlines: no matter how much renewable capacity is announced, financed, or even built, it cannot unlock its full value without one critical piece of infrastructure—the transmission...
A ticket from New York to Miami and one from New York to a Caribbean island may cover similar distances, yet the taxes and charges built into those tickets can be dramatically different. The same is true comparing flights within Europe, Africa, Asia or Latin America. Air transport is a global industry, but air travel...
