LATIN AMERICAN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

Economic Recovery appears to regain momentum in Q1

March 14, 2018 - Recent data for Latin America signals that economic activity in the region ended 2017 on a weaker footing than previously thought. An estimate shows that the Latin American economies expanded an aggregated 1.9% annually in Q4. While the print was above Q3’s 1.6% expansion, it was well below the 2.1% preliminary estimate expected last month. The downward adjustment mostly reflected weaker-than-expected growth in 
Brazil, Colombia and Peru, along with a downgrade to Mexico’s GDP data for Q4.
