Capital Markets
“Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another”. Alfred Adler
“The existence of a dynamic capital market is key to companies being able to have a further financing alternative, alongside bank loans or contributions of private investment funds.” La Llave, Expansión. October 2021.
