Diverse Region with Tremendous Potential to Create Value

We believe Latin America is a region poised for significant growth and participation in the global economy, fueled by expanding markets, technological advancements and a strong resource base.

LATAM governments are taking action to ensure fiscal, monetary and financial sustainability with urgent reforms to improve fiscal outcomes and foster growth. These measures aim to boost productivity.

Significant Positive and Economic Changes as the Government Focuses on Reform and Stabilization in Much of the Region

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.
Brazil
  • Continues to steer a net positive and sensible economic path.
  • 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.
  • High expectations on high prices for copper and gold, Peru`s top mineral exports, and a push to cut regulations that should make more friendly investment environment.
  • Foreign Direct Investments have rebounded significantly after recent political instability.
Argentina
  • After a year of significant changes in the fiscal agenda along with signs of solid recovery, an economic rebound is expected for in 2025
  • Sharp decline in inflation expectations
  • Tax amnesty will generate new flows to the financial system which should reactivate the private sector.
Region
  • 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.
