Deals of the Year 2012: Latin America – Making the exceptions exceptional
In a buoyant year for international bond

innovation was what counted, rather than the
size and pricing records that were broken. In
the equity markets, which, in Brazil at least,
were quiescent, persistence and a high regard
for a fair deal for investors were crucial.
