The Latin America and Caribbean region will see its pace of growth decelerate in 2022 to 2.1%, after reaching 6.2% on average last year, according to new projections released in January by ECLAC.* Several additional factors will keep downside risks to growth particularly high in 2022. The economic rebound will likely lose momentum due to the combination of slow growth, high inflation, and still-weak labor market dynamics amid a heavy electoral cycle. Political and policy uncertainties may damage business sentiment and near-term investment in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Chile.
How can companies prepare for the downturn and find growth opportunities despite the outlooks? Join us for an interactive discussion with cross-divisional experts from Market Intelligence and Ratings alongside guest speaker Nikhil Sanghani for a look at rising interest rates, impacts from U.S. central banks, credit trends in the region, and much more.
