LATIN AMERICAN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Latin America growth prospects cut again in May on weak incoming Q1 data
May 15, 2019 - Activity is seen remaining soft this year, picking up only slightly from a dismal 2018, and growth prospects were cut again this month on weak incoming Q1 data. A challenging external environment and political uncertainty are weighing on this year’s outlook. The modest uptick in growth will be driven by slightly stronger growth in Brazil and a smaller drag from Argentina.... Argentina: Macri Fails Taming Inflation As economy suffers its second consecutive recession Argentine President Mauricio Macri is failing completely in taming the high inflation rates he inherited from his predecessor. In fact, prices are going up faster now than during the government of Cristina Kirchner (2007-2015), when they averaged 25.2 percent. This year, Argentina will likely see an inflation rate of 43.7 percent, according to new estimates from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). That’s nearly twice what the government had estimated in its 2019 budget and the highest rate in the current IMF inflation database for Argentina going back more than 20 years -- to 1998. |
