Latin American Economy & Business - April 2015 (ISSN 1741-7430)
Region: Fairly shockproof
For Latin America and the Caribbean, most economic trends in recent months have been negative. Minerals and energy prices have fallen, in part because of the slowing of the Chinese economy. The end of Quantitative Easing (QE) by the Federal Reserve has, at the margin, reduced the funds that are available for investment in emerging markets. As we noted earlier, multilateral institutions are looking for fairly slow economic growth across the region this year. Nevertheless, the credit risk profile for the vast majority of countries is stable and the likelihood of a regional debt crisis is extremely low.
