All countries around the world wish to control their destiny, but in reality someone has to provide capital inflows. Capital will flow to any country which investors believe they can receive both short term and long-term returns. The longer the investment period, the greater the desire that the government is a willing partner for the business.

In an article from the Associated Press, recently there was an election in Bolivia and it changed from socialist to center right. The socialist administration had very particular expectations for companies and most of them started with distrust of foreign companies. The new administration of President Paz starts with the expectation, foreign companies can be helpful to the Bolivian economy.

The decree by the President will allow global satellite internet companies such as Starlink or Kuiper to provide access across the Andean nation as it tries to upgrade its technology and speed up its notoriously slow connectivity rates.

The President has also allowed more capital to flow into natural resources such as tin, silver and copper mining exploration companies.

Linking to dividend paying companies, because many tend to have global reach the ideal is to go into a country which welcomes foreign investments or flow of capital. Once that is done the company will need to ensure on balance that welcoming stays as welcome and try to do all the correct things to be a good citizen of the country. For investors, welcoming free flow of capital is the start of a good thing.

There are more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions.
