Latin American Keys is an informative and analytical summary regarding the political and economic situation in the Latin American region. These key takeaways, prepared monthly by ATREVIA´s Analysis and Research team, serve to be a useful tool in understanding the evolution of the political-institutional state of Latin America, a need that the pandemic has further exaggerated
Latin America was marked last month by what several analysts call the attempted coup in Brazil with the invasion of the three powers in which Bolsonaro supporters violently protested and demanded the dismissal of Lula da Silva.
Peru also experienced political chaos with a month of intense protests and high levels of violence that have given no rest to the government of Dina Boluarte after the dismissal of Pedro Castillo. Bolivia also joined this atmosphere with the protests against arrest of Governor Luis Fernando Camacho, leaving a scenario of political disorder without electoral guarantees for the upcoming judicial elections.
Ecuador is also preparing for the sectional elections to elect mayors and councilors. In Chile, after months of discussions, finally an itinerary and political agreement was reached to develop the new constituent process and, although so many months of political uncertainty left an unstable economic scenario, economic growth is expected for this 2023.
In economic matters, Colombia is also going through a complex situation due to the uncertainty now generated by the attempt to sign total peace with the ELN. The political dysfunction in most Latin American countries leaves as a result a regional economy that suffers from uncertainty, waiting for the situation to relieve with the resolution of the most urgent political and electoral issues.
