Risks and Strengths of Latin America’s Economies in 2026

Despite trade tensions and political uncertainty, 2025 was not a bad year for Latin America's economies, with growth of around 2.4 percent, broadly in line with post-pandemic trends. In this episode we look ahead to 2026 and analyze the outlook for the region, from fiscal pressures and a pivotal election in Brazil to uncertainty around Argentina’s recovery under Javier Milei and the evolving trade relationship between Mexico and the United States. To unpack which countries and sectors look strongest, and where the biggest risks lie, we’re joined by Nur Cristiani, head of LATAM investment strategy at J.P. Morgan’s Private Bank.
