About this work
Favorable external conditions underpinned a November 2023 forecast of 2.5% Latin American growth in 2024 excluding Argentina. Martín Castellano, María Paola Figueroa and Jonathan Fortun identified commodity activity, Mexico’s proximity to US production and further monetary easing as potential supports. They expected a prolonged Argentine recession with limited regional spillovers, while emphasizing the advantage for countries that reduced fiscal risk and political uncertainty.
