Methodology

For 2020, the data used was published by companies listed on Latin American and Spanish stock exchanges on their boards of directors. In addition, for Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, automated scrapers were developed that took the information from the different sources in each country, so we believe that the data is more comprehensive this year.
