We interview Leandro Cuccioli, Senior VP at Mercado Libre, on the company’s Mexico strategy, booming e-commerce sales, Mercado Pago’s fintech ambitions, the impact of AI adoption, market concerns around operating margins that have hit the stock price, and the company’s long-term growth opportunities.First, Eduardo and Damian dissect the main business and economic news of the week, which brought some unusually positive headlines for Mexico: stronger growth data, a welcome low-inflation surprise, renewed momentum behind clean energy investment, and Sinda’s potential IPO as one of the more interesting new Mexican silver stories.We then discuss two new reports: Hi Ventures on AI adoption across Latin America, and UBS on billionaire family offices, and what makes Latin American plutocrats different from their peers elsewhere.’
