Latin America Focus: Banking with Potentially Unstable Countries (Audio/Visual CD-Rom)
The U.S. may soon designate Venezuela a state sponsor of terrorism because of its apparent links to Colombian guerillas, an action that could have major repercussions for U.S. companies and investors. The designation could also trigger restrictions on U.S. official aid and foreign assistance and on the export of dual use items – those with civilian and military applications. How might your institution be affected? In this session, you’ll find out what preparations your financial institution should be making now if it does business with Venezuela, and learn what may happen if the U.S. takes action.
