South America is, indeed, an important market where Europe can export its goods and services and the EU is still the main investor. With a combined population of more than 700 million people, high combined GDP and bi-regional trade close to €100 billion annually, closer trade relations with the EU would generate reciprocal advantages and positive spill-over at global level. Maltese Enterprises can also benefit from the strong growth in the region.
