Economic Environment of Latin America
The country remains captured in recession since quite a few years. Latin America’s Economy contracted consecutively in the last 2 quarters of 2015 and witnessed the sharpest fall in six years in Q4 which lead to an indication of economic weakness at the beginning of the year 2016. The region’s aggregate GDP is estimated to have decreased 1.2% year-on-year in the first quarter, which continues to suggest overall weakness in the region. However, all economies in Latin America are not operating at the same stage. With some economies managing the region’s recession better than others, and are growing, while others are facing a severe economic deterioration.
The 3 major countries working to hinder the regional GDP aggregate are Brazil, Ecuador and Venezuela. Brazil, the region’s largest economy, is experiencing its deepest recession since the 1930s. The Ecuadorean economy is facing persistent fiscal weakness due to low oil prices. Venezuela, where electricity is being rationed, the work week has been shortened and the government even changed the time zone to reduce evening electricity usage, remains rooted in a profound political and economic crisis, which shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
The current economic conditions and global developments are being reflected in the country’s improved Q2. After having experienced heightened volatility in financial markets earlier this year, the region transitioned to a smoother period in the second quarter, which prompted a stabilization in exchange rates. Heading into the second half of the year, the region’s economic activity is expected to stabilize and is seen improving gradually in the coming quarters. Nevertheless, risks to the short-term outlook persist. Major currencies in Latin America are likely to experience a renewed episodes of volatility as capital inflows reverse their path—due to developments with U.S. interest rates—and commodities prices lose the ground they gained in recent weeks. These factors, in turn, have the potential to fuel inflationary pressures and, in a context in which fiscal stimulus remains constrained as several governments in the region are tightening their budgets, they could prevent central banks from using monetary policy to stimulate domestic demand.
