The Economic Committee on Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPALC) revised its forecast for the development of the region in 2025 down, 2% – from 2.4% – due to the US President’s war wars, due to the US President of the US. Donald Trump.

The district “Faced with an international scenario very complicated and very uncertain”Cepalc explained in a statement, analyzing the reasons for reducing its optimism compared to its immediate preceding provision, which was released in December, before the Republican’s return to the White House and the imposition of additional customs customs duties.

The announcements for customs duties “Which have been made by the US not only have a direct consequences for what the countries in the region export to this economy, but also have indirect consequences through greater volatility in international financial markets, with large fluctuations in stock markets and capital markets”continued this UN service based in Santiago, the capital of Chile.

Cepalc predicts that the area will be directly affected, primarily in its trade with the US, which is, along with China, its largest trading partner.

It revised its forecasts for growth in the vast majority of region countries. Because of their greatest US dependence, the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico states will suffer the most serious consequences.

Growth is expected to reach 2% in Brazil, the largest economy in the region, while in Mexico, the second largest economy in the region is expected to slow down at just 0.3%.

Latin America’s third largest economy, that of Argentina, is significantly different from the general trend, with Cepalc revising its prediction (+0.7% compared to December), at 5%, estimated identical to that of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
