LatinFinance's Deals of the Year Awards recognize excellence in transactions in the Latin American and Caribbean capital markets. For the 2019 awards, the editors considered deals completed between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019, evaluating them on the basis of size, complexity, innovative elements, market significance, and execution. Each decision requires a consultation process involving a range of industry authorities.
