¿Tú te lo has preguntado? Some Hints: - 12% of the population earns about US$300 dollars monthly. - Of the 5% of adults with the highest income in Colombia, about 60% are men and 40% are women. To be part of the 5% of adults with the highest income (total gross) in 2021, you had to have an average monthly income of $6.9 million (~~US$1.750) or more, the almost 4,000 people with the highest incomes in Colombia. And take a look at this one please. - Low class: income below 420,676 pesos. - Vulnerable class: income between $420.676 and $781.000 - Middle class: income between $781,000 and $4.201.570. - Upper class: income above 4.201.570 pesos. How about these hypotheses: - Profound socio-economic inequality. - A made-up middle class, i.e., Colombia's middle class is very poor and becoming poorer every day, meanwhile somewhere else in Chibcha Gotham City, holy crazy sh***t Batman, some few families have income at the same level of the rich of the world. Do they save money? Barely. As you know, they got portfolios, some they keep it within the confines of 'platanoland' and the rest is somewhere, 'offshore'. You know very well why they don't give you their money, Savings Accounts are a bad deal. Lulo won't keep it up for long.

The circular marketplace Reuse has raised a $4.5M seed round. Congratulations! 🚀🎉💥 Reuse is an end-to-end online marketplace for buying and selling refurbished electronics in Chile, Mexico, and Peru. The platform partners with companies like Falabella, Coppel, and Samsung to resell devices returned in their trade-in programs. Reuse will use its new raise to fund its expansion into Mexico. Over the past 3 years, investors have ramped up funding in circular electronics marketplaces around the world. CompAsia (Singapore), Valyuu (Netherlands), refurbed (Austria), Revibe (UAE), and Reebelo (US) among others have secured millions to grow their circular platforms. The potential for circular marketplaces in the mobile device market is huge. In 2021, the number of mobile devices operating worldwide stood at almost 15 billion. The number of mobile devices is expected to reach 18.2 billion by 2025, an increase of 4.2 billion devices compared to 2020 levels. As the mobile market matures and there are more devices in the market the potential for secondary sales has expanded dramatically. The large-scale incumbent marketplaces are not missing this opportunity. Alibaba Group, Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Mercado Libre have expanded into the selling second-hand phones and other electronic devices along with investments in the circular logistics to support these types of sales. The complexity and need for data regarding phone to network compatibility is also expanding opportunities for companies like PrologMobile, which can provide IMEI-specific device information. This is essential information to ensure a better match between buyers and sellers. Going circular is increasingly becoming specialized and technology driven.  If you are a VCs considering circular marketplace investment opportunities or a startup or incumbent exploring technology options, reach out to us at McFadyen Digital. We have deep experience in eCommerce technology, circular marketplace strategy, and technology selection and implementation. We’d love to partner with you to explore market opportunities, evaluate technological risks, determine scalability potential, platform design and other aspects of launching successful circular marketplaces.  More on Reuse’s funding round here: https://lnkd.in/g5A7SRCe In addition to its online marketplace, Resuse has also has a new store in Santiago, Chile pictured below. #circulareconomy #startups #VCs #marketplaces #reverselogistics #trends

Raúl García and Luis Martínez in the program PODER LEGISLATIVE on RADIOPODER 104.9 FM in ARGENTINA commented: DIGITAL BADGES, KEY TO STANDING OUT IN THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS. María Eugenia Castillo, National Director of Executive and Graduate Programs at TecMilenio University, commented that digital badges are revolutionizing the way employers select their human talent. These recognitions certify competencies and skills and can make the difference between being considered or discarded during a recruiting process. He explained that each digital badge is unique and is made up of an image and metadata that contains your accreditation information. In addition to the image given by the organization that issues it, it contains specific information that allows validating its origin, the organization that grants it and other relevant characteristics to certify its authenticity in real time. THEY ATTRIBUTE CAPITAL FLIGHT OF 12,522 MILLION TO THE REFORMS, ACCORDING TO BANXICO DATA. Capital flight in Mexico has reached worrying figures, with an outflow of 12,522 million dollars in the first months of 2024, according to data from the Bank of Mexico (Banxico). This phenomenon has been attributed to the recent economic and fiscal reforms promoted by the government, which have generated uncertainty among national and international investors. BOLIVIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHERE FEDERAL JUDGES ARE ELECTED BY VOTE. In Bolivia the judicial system underwent a significant transformation under the leadership of Evo Morales and his party, the Movement towards Socialism (MAS). Morales, arguing that the judicial system favored the powerful, proposed the popular election of judges as a solution to democratize justice. In 2011, this judicial reform was implemented with the hope of improving transparency and combating corruption in the judiciary. THANKS FOR YOUR PREFERENCE.

Our advisory “professional services” approach is core to our culture, which allows us to go beyond the 10% “low hanging fruit” in each jurisdiction. Lease aggregation world-wide remains nascent because, to date, it has been done in a simplistic way: making a telephone call and sending successive term sheets like throwing spaghetti against the wall and seeing what sticks. Car salesmen rather than advisors. The issue in international lease aggregation is trust rather than price. Sales tactics don’t work. We are nothing if not local advisors, meeting with property owners on their turf and advising them about the risks and benefits of keeping their site vs. partnering with us. We have hundreds of advisors covering local territory and are now by far the largest aggregator in the world by headcount. This means that we create uncommon value every day in a diversified way (which cannot be done through large switch or portfolio purchases). The key in this business is not how much you invest — but how much you get in return for your investment. We build large volume, but more than that, we create uncommon value. For our investors but also for property owners, tenants (towercos and MNOs) and for our people. Nice job Gillian and Enrique. Kudos to our large, motivated, intelligent, experienced and above all ADVISORY Chilean team. Because of you the sky is the limit in Chile!

Hoy estaba leyendo un tema sobre el impacto de las tecnologías emergentes en los informes financieros y el cumplimiento. Me pareció interesante y aquí lo comparto en Linkedin.. The Impact of Emerging Technologies on Financial Reporting and Compliance: Navigating the Future of Accounting in the Digital Age As the business landscape continues to evolve, the role of financial accounting is being reshaped by emerging technologies. Innovations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, and automation are not just buzzwords—they are fundamentally transforming how financial data is processed, reported, and audited. This shift brings both opportunities and challenges for accounting professionals. 1. Automation and AI in Accounting: AI and automation are streamlining routine accounting tasks like data entry, reconciliation, and report generation. This reduces the risk of human error and frees up valuable time for accountants to focus on more strategic activities. Automated systems can analyze vast amounts of financial data in real time, providing insights that were previously difficult or time-consuming to obtain. 2. Blockchain and Financial Transparency: Blockchain technology offers a new level of transparency and security in financial transactions. By creating a decentralized ledger of all transactions, blockchain can ensure that financial records are immutable and easily verifiable. This not only enhances trust among stakeholders but also simplifies the audit process. However, the adoption of blockchain requires careful consideration of regulatory implications and integration with existing financial systems. 3. Enhancing Compliance with Technology: Compliance with financial regulations is becoming increasingly complex, particularly in a globalized economy. Emerging technologies can help organizations stay ahead of regulatory changes by automating compliance checks and ensuring that all financial reporting adheres to the latest standards. AI-driven tools can monitor transactions for potential compliance risks, flagging any issues before they become significant problems. 4. Challenges and Considerations: While these technologies offer significant advantages, they also pose challenges. Implementing new systems can be costly and require substantial changes to existing processes. Additionally, there is a growing need for professionals who not only understand accounting principles but are also proficient in the technologies that are shaping the future of the industry. 5. Preparing for the Future: For accounting professionals, staying relevant means embracing these changes and continuously upgrading skills. This includes understanding how to leverage AI and automation tools, gaining familiarity with blockchain technology, and staying informed about evolving compliance requirements. By doing so, accountants can not only enhance their value to their organizations but also help shape the future of the profession.
