Chile
  • Rising prices and demand for copper and food products has the potential to bring billions in foreign currency into Chile, strengthening the Peso.
  • The country should keep its average credit rating of A-. Its debt indicators remain favorable compared to similarly rated countries, and Chile has introduced a new fiscal framework that includes a debt anchor with a fiscal balance anchor.

  • GDP growth has shown a steady rise driven by progressive increases in household consumption and investment.
  • Productivity boosts from deeper integration into the global economy and rising domestic competition.
Peru
  • Economy expected to grow by 4% in 2025 and rank as the second-fastest growing economy in Latin America.

  • Foreign Direct Investments have rebounded significantly after recent political instability.
Argentina

  • Upward trajectory of commodity prices should benefit LATAM near term. We believe global trade, commodity prices and financial conditions should provide tailwinds for the region’s recovery.
