A Look at Latvia’s Investment Environment in an era of Global Turbulence

Having been involved in numerous high-profile investment projects in Latvia since 1992, the team of Klavins Ellex has witnessed how foreign investors’ opinion of the investment environment in Latvia has evolved over the years. Certain issues that were crucial more than 20 years ago are still unresolved, whereas new geopolitical challenges are making the current investment climate difficult. Raimonds Slaidins will review the key economic and legal issues impacting the investment environment in Latvia, as well as steps that could be taken to improve this environment during a time when the only constant is the continuous change of external factors facing Latvia.
