The financial landscape in Latin America is evolving rapidly. At Money Expo Mexico 2025, EBC Financial Group (EBC) actively engaged with industry leaders, financial professionals, and traders. The event provided a valuable platform for exchanging insights and shaping the future of trading in the region. As a global brokerage, EBC remains committed to supporting traders through education, market intelligence, and innovative solutions designed for LATAM markets.
Key Market Insights from EBC’s Leadership
A major highlight of the expo was a thought leadership session featuring David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd, and Jose Herrera, Regional Manager for LATAM. Their discussion covered critical factors influencing market volatility, such as interest rate differentials between the US and Mexico, political developments, and global investment trends.

“Mexico plays a crucial role in the region’s financial ecosystem,” Barrett stated. “Its market liquidity, economic potential, and expanding trading sector continue to attract global investors.”
Herrera further explained how currency fluctuations impact trading strategies. “By understanding macroeconomic trends, traders can adapt to market changes more effectively,” he noted. “This approach helps create a more resilient trading community in Latin America.”
Exclusive Interview with El Economista
During the event, EBC also participated in an exclusive interview with El Economista, one of Mexico’s leading financial publications. The discussion explored Mexico’s growing influence in global markets, key industry shifts, and the transformative impact of financial technology.

Speaking on EBC’s role in the region, Barrett emphasized: “Latin America offers immense opportunities for financial market participants. We are dedicated to providing insights that support informed decision-making. Additionally, we remain committed to transparency and innovation as core industry values.”
Million Dollar Trading Challenge Returns
EBC also announced the return of its Million Dollar Trading Challenge (MDTC), which runs from March 1 to May 30. Designed to foster both competition and education, the challenge enables traders to refine strategies and test their skills in real market conditions.
With a diverse range of instruments—including US stocks, forex, commodities, and global indices—the challenge encourages analytical thinking and disciplined trading. Over the years, participants have gained valuable experience, enhancing their decision-making skills. For many, MDTC is more than a competition; it is a crucial learning experience.
Commitment to LATAM’s Financial Growth
Recognizing the importance of trust in financial markets, Barrett stressed the need for transparency and education. “The best way to build confidence is by promoting awareness and responsible trading practices,” he stated.
As EBC continues to strengthen its presence in Latin America, it remains focused on delivering insightful market perspectives, leveraging advanced technology, and contributing to the region’s financial development.
