What You Need to Know Before Exporting to Chile
Situated along more than 2,600 miles of South America’s west coast, Chile is a very strong trade partner and export market for American companies. In fact, 100% of U.S. exports enter Chile duty-free, making doing business with Chile very appealing. The U.S. is Chile’s second highest trade partner, ranking only behind China. Watch the video brought to you by the U.S. Commercial Service to get a better taste of what business opportunities lie in Chile. |
What You Need to Know Before Exporting to Brazil
Brazil is Latin America’s largest economy and the ninth largest economy in the world. Strong sectors for American products include IT, security equipment, oil and gas equipment, transportation, consumer goods, and medical devices. The business environment in Brazil is quite challenging, but if you can navigate the taxes and business culture properly, the returns can be very rewarding. |

LATIN AMERICAN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Recovery stays on track in Q2 but headwinds to growth mount in Q3
Preliminary data revealed that growth held up in Latin America’s economy in the second quarter, despite global geopolitical uncertainty and political tensions in key economies. Regional GDP (excluding Venezuela) grew 1.9% over the same period last year in Q2, matching Q1’s result. Tailwinds from higher commodity prices, recovering private consumption and a solid global economy supported growth in the quarter. However, growth was uneven across countries and activity in the more vulnerable economies of Argentina and Brazil floundered. Argentina: Shoot the Messenger From one perspective, Argentina seems to be on a crash course with disaster. Large fiscal and current account deficits, lackluster GDP growth and an insatiable appetite for external debt makes some people wonder if the country is back to its old tricks. Last week’s run on the peso, along with the plunge in international reserves, brought back painful memories. However, a recent trip to Buenos Aires revealed that the situation is not dire. In fact, there is a grand scheme. A jaunt through the downtown financial area has the usual panopoly of protests and marches, but some of the chaos is also due to the massive public works that are transforming the city. |
