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. US Blocks Venezuela Cryptocurrency Trump Administration blocks chain for Venezuelan cryptocurrency transactions. On March 19, 2018, the White House released a new executive order titled “Taking Additional Steps to Address the Situation in Venezuela.” The short executive order deals with the topic of Venezuelan cryptocurrencies and prohibits all transactions related to, the provision of financing for, and other dealings in, by a United States person or within the United States, any digital currency, digital coin, or digital token, that was issued by, for, or on behalf of the Government of Venezuela on or after January 9, 2018. |
