It’s hard to believe, but we are already halfway through 2021. Your AGN team is making big plans for the second half of the year. Beginning in August with the NextLeaders Bootcamp and the Major Firms Group meeting and spanning through the fall with other ADVANCE training and the North American Regional Meeting (with World Congress) in Miami, we are looking forward to various opportunities to connect with AGN members live and in living color.

In this edition, we continue to explore the real-life practicalities of cryptocurrency ownership – buying, storing and spending. Last time we looked at the rollercoaster changes in cryptocurrency prices, and now we consider safety, security and daily practicality.

If the United Kingdom offers a pro-business low tax environment in which to operate, with numerous valuable tax incentives available to help support companies operating there. It has, over many years, developed and maintained a wide-ranging Double Taxation Treaty network and acts as a natural bridge into Europe as a whole.

With an open environment to foreign participation, a range of tax and other incentives are available in aerospace, food processing, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals and electronics. But the most significant incentive for foreign companies to do business in Mexico is the IMMEX Maquiladora (factories) initiative.

In the first edition of the series, we looked briefly at the latest developments, considered mining and uncovered the environmental concerns. In this second edition, we talk about practicalities; what’s the likely impact of the authorities and regulation, and which cryptocurrency should you choose.

Summer is officially starting in three weeks, and many of us are already enjoying the break. The weather is heating up and so is the AGN Events calendar!

This month we will be launching registration for the 2021 AGN World Congress and NARM. And the hotel booking link will be coming soon, so you can start planning your trip to Miami. In the meantime, we have plenty of virtual events to keep you earning your CPE credit!
