On September 2, 2020, took place the first edition of the webinar series Miércoles Bursátiles de las Américas (Capital Wednesdays of the Americas) titled the “Impacts of Covid-19 in the AMERCA region”. Capital Wednesdays of the Americas is a series of free webinars on Wednesdays at 9:00 am (Guatemala Time) during the month of September organized by AMERCA – Asociación de Mercados de Capitales de las Américas.

Mr. Gary Barquero Arce (Gerente General, SCRIESGO) elaborated on what SCRIEGO is doing as a renowned rating agency and its collaboration with AMERCA. Preparing information and analysis reports for AMERCA is an example of this recent collaboration. The first round of reports was prepared. DCSX as a member of AMERCA was included in this report with its 2 tradeable listings: Building Depot Curacao B.V. and Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. On his turn, Mr. Barquero Arce used our tradeable listing Building Depot Curacao B.V. as an example to explain the structure of the report.

Mr. Jorge Chávez Villalta (Subgerente Regional, SCRIESGO) proceeded with a general analysis of the COVID-19 impacts on the economy in the countries of the AMERCA region and the principal challenges they are facing in order to reactivate their economies.
