INTERVIEW TGS LATAM DESK CHINA
Luis COSTA, Head of Latam Desk China
TGS in Perú
TGS Sarrio & Asociados
What is the purpose and objective of opening an office in China?
The TGS Latam Desk China in Shanghai reinforces our global vision and commitment to offer specialized solutions. Its purpose is to provide strategic and local advice to Chinese companies looking to expand in Latin America, as well as to Latin American companies in their investments in China. This reflects our ability to integrate global knowledge with a local focus, aligned with our mission to support our clients in their growth and efficiency.
Why do you consider it important to open this office in China? When will it be available?
Opening the TGS Latam Desk China responds to the growing demand from our clients for expert advice in a context of increasing investment and trade between China and Latin America, especially with Peru and bordering countries. With the dynamism that the Port of Chancay will bring, it is essential to have a specialized team that understands the regulatory and cultural challenges. This team has been operational since July 1st, providing strategic and local support from Shanghai, working hand in hand with our partners at TGS China.
What would be the benefits for customers to have this new connection point?
With the TGS Latam Desk China in Shanghai, our Latin American clients will benefit from a Peruvian representative with extensive knowledge of Chinese culture and regulations. In addition, I have more than 20 years of experience in the areas of corporate finance in retail, banking and the industrial sector. As well as in structuring bank debt, corporate bonds, financial analysis, planning and project management.
This connection point facilitates the interaction with Chinese clients and suppliers, streamlining and dynamizing their business in a key market, supported by our global network and local allies.
Do you have plans to open other offices in different areas? Which ones?
TGS expansion is based on market needs and client demand. We are currently evaluating opportunities in the Americas, in the countries of Colombia, Ecuador and Guatemala; in addition to having recently incorporated a new member firm in Bolivia. As part of the TGS Network, we continue to strengthen our global presence to offer ever closer and more relevant solutions to our clients in Latin America and the world.
