And democracy, Mr Gomez says, is a key precondition for the business-friendly environment needed to attract foreign investment. 'It means a rule of law, which is most important for business. It means certainty, checks and balances.'

The numbers say it all - foreign direct investments have kept flowing in despite the 'political crisis', and they are set to hit a record of more than US$20 billion this year, Mr Gomez points out.
